(OPENPRESS) August 29, 2012 -- Black by Ezard is a contemporary Australian grill located within Sydney's The Star. Created by designer Paul Kelly, the innovative design of the Black by Ezard restaurant interior provides guests with an inviting, elegant dining environment. Kelly's skilled use of rhythm throughout the design is a notable element that contributes to Black's uniquely appealing, comfortable interior.
By creating patterns of repetition and contrast within the design, a designer brings rhythm to a space in the same way that a composer brings rhythm to a piece of music. Paul Kelly has expertly applied the use of rhythm in Black's design, allowing guests to enjoy a dining experience of unparalleled comfort while providing dramatic visual interest. While many design elements contribute to Black's rhythm, the use of space and structure are vital to creating that rhythm.
Black's interior includes striking columns that provide structural support. The regular spacing of these columns is enhanced by the arrangement and placement of Black's tables and booths. Regularly placed tables between columns contrast with the spacing of partitioned booths to create a pattern that unifies the room while providing visual appeal. This pattern of even spacing allows guests to enjoy an environment that is both intimate and comfortable.
Kelly continued Black's rhythm within his design of the bar and wine cellar. Black's clean lines and pattern of regular spacing continue in this dramatic space. The bar's wine racks and unique wine cellar feature Kelly's strong use of placement, creating a beautiful area that also provides ample storage space for a large number and variety of wines. The result is a clean, elegant environment that invites guests to relax.
In contrast to the straight lines of the dining room and bar, a large rustic table near the bar is irregular in shape. Above, an irregular pattern of lights echoes the unique shape of the table and provides contrast to the evenly spaced lighting found throughout much of the dining room. This visually appealing contrast contributes to the rhythm of the space and enhances the transition to the dining room.
Along with repetition and contrast, transition is an important component of rhythm. A great interior design creates a smooth flow from one area to another. Black's interior is composed of several distinctive spaces that flow into one another with ease. Kelly meticulously planned each space within Black. His use of repeated elements and patterns resulted in a harmonious flow that allows guests to experience each space as part of a unified, seamless dining experience.
Paul Kelly's ingenious use of rhythm in the Black by Ezard restaurant interior combined with his skillful use of other design elements to create a luxurious dining experience. His careful use of materials, spacing and patterns created a balanced, harmonious space that pleases guests and encourages them to return. Kelly's elegant design fuses the modern and the traditional to create a timeless design perfectly suited to Black's menu and Sydney's local atmosphere.
