Fooding 2010 honours interior design of Le Dauphin restaurant in Paris

Published: 26-Nov-2010

Rem Koolhaas and associate Clement Blanchet of Dutch architectural partnership Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) have received the Fooding 2010 award for best interior design for Le Dauphin restaurant in Paris.

Le Dauphin, a new restaurant by chef Fred Penau in the 11th arrondissement in Paris, is designed as an ‘obsession in white’. The predominant use of marble, mirrors and wood, provides a pure scenographic background for Le Dauphin's cuisine. The materials enlarge 80 square metre space through reflection, as street-facing mirrored surfaces blur the boundary between interior and exterior.

Le Dauphin, scheduled to open at the beginning of December 2010, is conceived as a complement to Le Châteaubriand, one of the world's most critically acclaimed restaurants, also by Fred Peneau, and Iniaki Aispitarte, located two doors down.

The Fooding prize is a new alternative to the traditional French restaurant rating system, and is awarded by lefooding.com, an alternative restaurant and culinary guide.

Rem Koolhaas is a Dutch architect who is also the co-founder of the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA).
