Similar to the space, the custom dining tables designed for Sara Restaurant were inspired by the forms and feel of the shoreline. The sculpted modular design allows for different spatial configurations depending on the number of diners, and most importantly — like the food that will be served on them — they were designed with sharing and connection in mind. By providing a hidden cell phone compartment hollowed out of the table base and accessed through a removable inlay in the top, the tables encourage guests to relinquish their cell phones and dine without distraction.
