Urban Chic Meets Natural Harmony*

Perpetuum Designs unveils one of it's restaurant designs, Autea, a fusion of urban style intertwined with vibrant hues and organic elements. Built within the heart of Chicago's Chinatown, this project invites visitors into a world where innovation and tradition meet seamlessly.

Stepping into Autea, spectators are immediately captivated by the interplay of textures and colors. The space exudes a sense of warmth and discipline, thanks to the meticulous attention to detail in its design elements.

The foundation of the restaurant's ambiance lies in its juxtaposition of materials. Brick, painted in a deep, resplendent blue, forms the canvas upon which the narrative of the space unfolds. High ceilings, bathed in the same rich hue, elevate the atmosphere, creating an expansive and inviting environment.

Crafted textures accentuate the bar area, with a lighter shade of blue casting a subtle 3dimension, drawing the eye towards its allure. The use of emerald green vegan leather calms the space with a sense of comfort and luxury, inviting guests to linger and indulge in moments of leisure.

Autea's refurbished furniture serves as a testament to the artistry of Perpetuum Designs. Stained with precision, each piece adds to the narrative, while a middle row of tables stands as a focal point, accentuating the space with white tabletops understated elegance.

The bar itself emerges as a focal point of distinction, highlighted with custom pendants suspended from natural ropes, gracefully embracing the weight of concrete. Above, the ceiling comes alive with ethereal wicker palates, seemingly dancing in harmony with the light, casting a kaleidoscope of colors upon the deep blue backdrop.

As one ventures deeper into Autea, intricate details reveal themselves with every glance. A graphic wallpaper serves as a highlight, allowing custom wall sconces to weave their magic wight next to it, illuminating the space with a sense of artistry and grace.

Autea's pièce de résistance, however, lies in its Instagram wall, a verdant tapestry handcrafted from 30 different plants. Adorned with a customized world map, this green masterpiece pays homage to the cultural tapestry of Chicago's Chinatown, serving as a testament to the beauty and diversity that defines the community.

In essence, Autea transcends the boundaries of conventional design, offering patrons an immersive experience that celebrates the harmonious coexistence of urban vibrancy and natural splendor. It stands as a testament to the ingenuity of Perpetuum Designs, inviting all who enter to embark on a journey of discovery and delight.
