love good food –of course–, but we’re also nourished by what we see, hear, and touch.
We appreciate the aesthetics of a perfect plating, but our visual taste buds light up first at an evocative name on the marquee, a beautifully crafted menu, or a charming restroom sign.
We value the mise en place of the host’s vision and the intent behind the design team.
We celebrate when ideas, atmosphere, and materials come together like a well-prepared dish. And we want to share it with fellow designers around the world — the ones who will savor it just like we do.
That’s what we’re baking here: a trail of aromatic breadcrumbs that leads to places where aesthetic joy rises and gently touches the soul.
While we finish setting the table, enjoy a little appetizer on Instagram: @designated.place

And if you know a place that makes you say “life is beautiful,” one you’d take your designer friends to — we’d love to hear about it.
Bon appetit and see you soooon!
