Slovenian Manca Ahlin designed the Idrija lace that decorates a restaurant in New York

A new one recently opened in New York Mediterranean restaurant, whose Mediterranean atmosphere is emphasized precisely Idrija lace screen. She designed a giant version of a traditional handicraft Manca Ahlin, architect and designer with Slovenian roots, who also took care of the implementation herself. The lace serves as a screen that separates the dining room from the bar, and is interesting mainly because of its size. Instead of delicate silk thread, it is woven from strong sailor's ropes and attached to the walls with one hundred and fifty steel brackets. The interior design of the restaurant was done by Archipelagos architects in collaboration with the A2 Interiors studio.
