Yabu Pushelberg is designing Chef Daniel Boulud’s db Bistro Moderne, a French-American restaurant opening this summer at the JW Marriott Marquis Miami. The venue will have 18-foot ceilings, three distinct dining areas, two private dining rooms, and a street-level terrace overlooking the Miami River.
The center of the restaurant is lined with sleek white washed oak floors and wall paneling, steel gray canvas, distressed leather upholstery, and a geometric-patterned ceiling. To the right lies the persimmon room with curved banquettes upholstered in deep mustard colored canvas and leather. To the left is a smaller, more intimate room with a single central sandstone-topped harvest table and walls adorned with tinted mirrored trays. The lounge area’s bar is faced in bronze metal and mirror and features an inviting over-sized tufted chaise lounge as a focal point. Adjacent to the restaurant’s entrance is a wine tower, itself an intimate dining space decorated with a patchwork of glass tiles in shades of gray and bronze.
