南加州室内设计师戴维斯·克鲁明斯和他的妻子兼搭档安德里亚·克鲁曼斯是戴维斯墨水公司的设计二重奏。墨西哥餐厅唐·奇多是他们令人难忘的项目之一。

Design Concept: In designing Don Chido, we ran into an interesting juxtaposition. We wanted to create a space with over the top “wow factor” elements, but at the same time, the environment needed to be warm, inviting and casual. We wanted to create a “funky” experience in a living room setting. We achieved this by using a combination of utilitarian and organic elements such as barn wood, Edison light fixtures, rope, subway tile and old steel. We then reconfigured these materials in unexpected ways. Big diagonal stripes on the walls layered with wood planks - tile, suspended beams with keyless light fixtures, unfinished steel display boxes and exaggerated “fleur de lis” tiles. In addition we wanted the project to be appealing to a wide demographic. We wanted to create a social playground for everybody including kids, old timers and hipsters. This was accomplished by creating fun and playful elements such as a series of bright yellow cherub statues, custom maraca light fixtures and a wall of overlapping Mexican blankets.

设计理念：在设计唐·奇多时，我们遇到了一个有趣的并列。我们想要创造一个超过顶部的“魔兽世界”元素的空间，但同时，环境需要温暖，诱人和随意。我们想在客厅里创造一种“时髦”的体验。我们采用功利主义和有机元素相结合的方法，如谷仓木材、爱迪生照明装置、绳索、地铁瓷砖和旧钢，实现了这一目标。然后我们以意想不到的方式重新配置了这些材料。墙面上有大的对角线条纹，上面铺有木板。

Our goal was to create a space that envelopes a person with different visual experiences. Every direction should offer a new discovery. We definitely wanted to avoid being too serious, the intent was to create an almost magical environment. Don Chido Mexican restaurant provided us with the opportunity to take traditional Mexican architectural elements and reconfigure them as” Pop Art” furniture and lighting. For example, we took traditional spindle columns, painted them bright blue and clustered them together to create tables. Davis Ink also suspended traditional Mexican steel gates from the ceiling and transformed them into light fixtures.

我们的目标是创造一个空间，用不同的视觉体验来包围一个人。每一个方向都应该提供一个新的发现。我们绝对想避免过于严肃，目的是创造一个近乎神奇的环境。唐·奇多墨西哥餐厅为我们提供了一个机会，让我们可以利用传统的墨西哥建筑元素，将其重新配置为“流行艺术”家具和照明。例如，我们将传统的纺锤体列绘制成明亮的蓝色，并将它们聚在一起创建表格。Davis Ink还将传统的墨西哥钢门悬挂在天花板上，并将其转化为照明装置。
