Los Angeles’ Providence is set for a redesign this summer. Led by chef Michael Cimarusti and locally based Tamara Kaye-Honey of House of Honey, the restaurant’s new design will playfully recall marine ecosystems.


Inside Art Deco-inspired interiors, custom damask wallpaper in dusty rose, gold, iridescent pearl, and lapis lines the banquettes, while brass-capped feet adorn chairs upholstered in dark blue velvet. The wall sconces are hung in chained steel and run nearly five feet to the floor and chandeliers are clad in driftwood. To mimic the ocean and the tide, the carpeting has an echoing blue pattern. Additionally, Providence’s patio is being enclosed and redesigned with the same materials so that it will be a natural extension of the dining room, complete with walls painted in a Venetian patina.
“Providence is a Los Angeles icon and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of their redesign,” Kaye-Honey says. “We really looked to the sea as inspiration for a backdrop that would highlight the simple, authentic seafood that Michael uses as his canvas. The rich palette and lush textures are meant to set the scene for the magical, elegant experience diners are sure to have every time they visit.”
Fresh graphic designs to streamline the menu presentation will be provided by Satoko Furuta and Stacie Navarro; and Douglas Riccardi of Memo in New York and Rowland Holmes of London’s Arturan are crafting Providence’s new website.
Providence will remain open for business until the end of May, with a scheduled relaunch in mid-June.
