Boutique Design - July/August 2014 - 34
BASILE Studio principal Paul Basile likens his relationship with Tafazoli to a marriage. "Arsalun has an eye for
design-he knows what looks good and what doesn't," Basile
explains. "But as the lead designer on this project, it's up to
me to create the overall concept and make sure the parts
work. That's how our collaboration happens."
For Ironside, the team started with the 1920s industrial
building that was most recently occupied by Ironside
Metal Works (the restaurant's namesake). The single-story,
5,000-sq.-ft. structure featured "good bones" and 14-ft. ceilings with original trusses, Basile says.
With such a large, open space, the designer saw an
opportunity to create separate but connected eating areas
with an emphasis on metal construction, custom conversation starters and nautical undertones. Metal fabrication,
Basile's first love and main passion, dominates the design.
At the entrance, for example, Basile created five 5-by-11-ft.tall steel, wood and glass doors that pivot open using an
electric actuator. When flipped up, the doors become a
shaded awning over the restaurant's patio.
Inside, an oversized ceiling-height steel trellis affixed
with frosted light bulbs-an ode to Basile's love of old
bridge construction-scales the back wall of the bar and
curves toward the ceiling rafters. Rows of shelves housing
spirits rise up nearly to the ceiling, with a 10-ft.-tall rolling
steel ladder spanning the length of the bar to keep them
within arm's reach.
Tafazoli, who admits to a childhood obsession with
Jules Verne and a fascination with set design, worked with
BASILE Studio to infuse Ironside with a bit of both. For
example, Basile used a copper, brass and steel materials
palette and mix of birch and walnut woods to demarcate
2 Conversation-starters within
the restaurant include an
octopus tentacle (whose
end encircles a light fixture)
jutting out of a porthole.
3 Graphic elements, including this not-so-subtle
sign on the ceiling above
the restroom doors, play
an important role in the
Ironside restaurant.
4 Eat or be eaten? That seems
to be the question posed
by this 7-by-12-ft. wall-art
installation of faux piranha
heads by sculptor/set
designer Brandon Kihl.
