The design embraces Eastern aesthetics, emphasizing simplicity and the natural beauty of materials. Clean lines and a restrained palette create harmony and tranquility, while wood, stone, and mud add earthy textures, fostering a tactile connection to nature. This serene space serves as both a calming backdrop and a reflection of its cultural inspiration.

Influenced by dansaekhwa, abstract textures evoke subtle emotions and invite reflection, enhancing the minimalist design. Together, these elements craft a dining experience where guests can enjoy Korean cuisine in an authentic, thoughtfully curated setting.
