Andre Kikoski and his designed restaurant within Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece museum, the Guggenheim, was just named the 2010 James Beard Foundation Award winner for Outstanding Restaurant Design.

Kikoski’s design for The Wright garnered raves for its ability to translate Wright’s vocabulary into the small space, enhanced with a brilliantly colored aluminum wall sculpture by artist Liam Gillick. “Our use of color was muted and restrained,” Kikoski told us, “while his is vibrant and audacious. We were both committed to the idea that this had to work like the museum, where the symbiosis of art and architecture exhibits perfect complementarity.”
