What if Claude Monet were to move to Los Angeles as a young man? This is an exploration of how he might capture the 'city of angels' in different lights and seasons, interpreted throughout the design of both floors. In contrast to its sister bakery downstairs which plays off of the shades of early light, 189 by Dominique Ansel evokes the feeling of the remains of the day; the time when one winds down to relax. Whether being entranced by the activity in the kitchen, tucking away in an intimate booth, unwinding at the sunset gradient bar, or breathing easy in the ‘garden’ lounge under the colorful greenery frozen in time which changes seasonally along with the ingredients.
