Karen and Quinn Hatfield have reopened their Michelin-star rated Hatfield’s in a new Los Angeles location after they doubled the restaurant in size. The space—which includes a full bar, conservatory, and private dining room—was overseen by local designer Alexis Readinger of Preen Design. Readinger sought to preserve the intimate feeling of the original location despite the expanded space. Taking inspiration from the natural landscape, Readinger employed a palette of acorn, flint, olive, and walnut, incorporating elements such as wide plank wood floors and creating a "living wall" covered in airplants and epiphytes. Meanwhile, 1940s-style stools surround the brushed steel and marble-topped bar, and design details such as a linen chandelier that spells out the chemical components of honey and an oversized cement casted apple situated in a planter box provide whimsy.
