superfine
Superfine began as a bare shell and a dare: convince a client to go all the way. Full gut renovation of a commercial hospitality space, transformed into a visually arresting sweet shop operating at the intersection of candy culture and contemporary art. Our directive was simple—in a world where image is currency, the boldest room in the room wins.
Internally, we called the concept Tokyo Drift: a nod to speed, spectacle, and the kind of sensory overload that turns a sweet shop into a cultural moment. The vision was built around two colors and an attitude. Marigold and pink, saturated to their absolute limit, coat every surface—floors, walls, columns, ceiling—creating a total chromatic immersion that photographs like a fever dream and lingers in memory long after the sugar rush fades.
Our artistic references anchored the visual language. The room’s centerpiece is a monumental installation of Flavor Paper’s collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation—Warhol’s iconic After the Last Supper rendered in his signature silkscreen palette of black, coral, and hot pink, turning a classical icon into a statement about consumption, desire, and the sacred ritual of indulgence. The same commitment to art-forward surface design carries through every corner of the space: Flavor Paper’s banana print wraps the structural columns floor to ceiling, and in the restrooms, their cherry and lips wallopers cover every wall and the ceiling—punctuated by red neon and pink mirror wainscoting that turns the entire room into a glowing, pop-saturated tableau.
Dan Flavin’s legacy lived in the light: fluorescent tube installations bathes the entire room in marigold glow, making the architecture itself feel alive. Ghost chairs with blush pink legs. Painting of a disco mirror ball. Pendant globes in pink. No surface was left neutral. Every detail was chosen to reward the second look—and the third.
