This project has special significance to Lu and his long standing (12 year) relationship with a very talented production artist named Don Kaump. Lu and Don have collaborated on many projects over the years. Lu specified custom bamboo motif panels for the sushi bar face.
These panels were the first commission for Don Kaumps new company modular arts. You can view Don's exciting and expanding line of sculptural surfaces in modular panels at www.modulararts.com
This project was special to Lu because it was the last project he designed while still Principal for Hospitality Facilities at Connell Design Group and transitioning to his own design firm Lu S Design Associates.
We have designed over 450 restaurants in the past 22 plus years.
