Nela Restaurant

At Nela restaurant, Jin floor tile and Kaji Border in Wrought Iron establish a dark, tactile setting around the open-fire kitchen.

Project Information

Project: Nela Restaurant
Interior design: FRMWRK Studio
Tile collections: Jin and Kaji Border
Colour: Wrought Iron
Applications: Floor, walls, counters and open-kitchen surfaces

An Open Kitchen in Ceramic and Steel

The interior is organised around cooking equipment, stainless-steel work surfaces and long dining counters. Dark ceramic surrounds these working elements, allowing the open kitchen to read as one continuous environment.

Kaji Border introduces a slender vertical relief across walls and counter fronts. Reflections from the cooking area reveal variation within the dark glaze, while the repeated format gives order to the extensive tiled surfaces.

Jin Underfoot

Jin provides a larger and quieter floor module. Its carbon-rich appearance complements the Wrought Iron wall tile while creating a clear distinction between horizontal and vertical surfaces.

Explore Jin. Explore Kaji Border and order samples from the Kaji collection.
