Jaime Hayón has collaborated with chef Paco Roncero to design a new restaurant interior for La Terraza del Casino de Madrid. Bright crystals, rhombus-shaped mirrors, a checkered floor, geometric columns and mismatching chairs create a calculated sense of the original. Photographed floral compositions by Dutch photographer Nienke Klunder offset the predominantly pale, bluish colours. Custom-designed by Hayón himself, lamps that hang like large white spiders and porcelain furniture complete the modern, avant-garde atmosphere that reflects the very textures, colours and flavours of Roncero’s dishes.
