For the love of... great restaurant designs with a masculine touch

I came across this architecture company in Amsterdam called Concrete and they rock. Their portfolio includes everything from tree houses to museums! I selected 2 restaurants that really inspire me - what do you think?

Restaurant Mazzo, Amsterdam (visit their website here)

You can never go wrong when you mix:

brick walls, raw wood, black leather couch, chalkboard, black and white oversized photography, exposed wires, large vintage looking signage, industrial chandeliers...

Restaurant Pearl & Caviar, Abu Dhabi (visit their website here)

What took my breath away were the:

black walls, silver ceilings, silver accessories, dimmed lights, patterned tile floors, different lamp shapes in sets of 3, mosaic wall, silver beaded curtain, moroccan lanterns on the floor...

The brains behind all those amazing designs all work for Concrete and they published a book called "The world according to Concrete". Buy their book here.
