Restaurant Profusion

Restaurant Profusion is a restaurant inspired by Montreal's juxtaposition of old and new architecture. Its nested in downtown Montreal, the design is a mixture of modern and classic design.

Entrance view.

As soon as you walk in you should see elements of modern and classic components. The under bar lighting is inspired by the colorful light that lights up old churches at night. The use of materials of rich colors such as green marble counter top and an onyx upper bar unit combining with orange velvet upholstered bar stool give a luxurious and cozy vibe. The dining area has a more modern touch with very comfortable beige wing-back hostess chairs. To tie this area together, gold lighting fixtures suspended over this ground floor dinning and bar area will give you a welcoming atmosphere.

Bar view.

With the bar in the center of the ground floor, inspired by more classic styles, the stairs is a take on modern and contemporary design. the stairs are in concrete and the railing on one side is clear glass and on the other side a criss cross design achieved by using thin black ropes passed through randomly shoulder bolts attached on the ceiling and the floor. The goal is to achieve a contrast in the style of design co-existing in one space.

Mezzanine view.

On the mezzanine floor the vibe is more toned down modern and its mainly for dining, but to keep the concept of the juxtaposition between two styles, the ceiling design comes in play. Two large ceiling plates over lapping on an odd angle and decorated with large classic majestic moldings all around gives that visual interest and the contrast of the old classic and modern in this mezzanine dining area.
