Very Thai
Los Angeles, California. 2024
Very Thai brings a bold, all-red ambiance to California’s indoor-outdoor dining scene, blending a cozy drinking culture with a modern Thai aesthetic. The waiting area is seamlessly integrated into the exterior wall, creating a scooped-out entry that leads through a custom arched glass door. Framed in rose gold, this design element extends into the bar, where it transforms into a liquor shelf, tying the entry to the heart of the space. Inside, the dining area is layered to offer distinct experiences, with various seating styles enhancing comfort and privacy.
The seating layout progresses through four zones, beginning with a lounge near a slide-up window for relaxed dining. Semi-circle booths with integrated greenery create a filtered transition away from the exterior noise, leading to a large, rounded booth across from the bar that emphasizes openness by omitting pendant lighting. The final layer features a linear booth facing a geometric, copper-tinted mirror, perfect for flexible, smaller gatherings. For exclusive events, the VIP room includes six pivoting screens, allowing it to adapt from an open space to a private, intimate setting with ease.
