Designed by chef Gilles Stassart and artist Laurent Grasso, this stunning glass box sits atop the 1937 Palais de Tokyo in Paris, which became a contemporary art museum in 2002. Called Art Home or Nomiya, it's an experimental restaurant serving prix fixe meals by reservation only. It's a cooking school, for adults and kids. It's a gourmet shop. And it's also a showroom for the newest Electrolux products. It's open only for one year and today is Day #183. I haven't been to see it or eat there but I definitely will next time I'm in Paris. Meanwhile you can get all the info and make reservations HERE. To see more great photos, click HERE. Photos top to bottom: Nomiya incoming; in the afternoon light; two nighttime views.
What fantastic photos. I never noticed these buildings before; but worth a second trip for sure.
ReplyDeleteWHAT a gem! But it's only there for one year? so we have less than six months to go! Very nice find!
