Sake Thai

2026

Unik Works presents Sake Thai, a Thai and Sushi restaurant designed as a modern fusion of cultural depth and contemporary refinement. Set to open in Lebanon, the space balances warmth and sophistication, crafted as both an inviting neighborhood gathering spot and an elevated dining destination.

​

The design layers textures and lighting to create a theatrical yet intimate experience. A sweeping sushi bar anchors the first floor, framed by sculptural seating and soft ambient glows, while the second-level dining area opens into a dramatic view highlighted by a luminous moon installation and ribbon-like chandeliers. These gestures transform the ceiling into a canvas of light, setting an atmosphere that shifts fluidly between day and night.

​

Materiality grounds the concept in authenticity: rich wood tones, dark stone flooring, and brick accents convey strength and tradition, while custom furnishings soften the geometry with comfort and approachability. Each element is orchestrated to enhance the duality of Sake Thai—celebrating the bold, dynamic flavors of Thai cuisine and the refined precision of Japanese sushi.

​

More than a restaurant, Sake Thai is envisioned as an immersive cultural experience where food, design, and community intertwine into a singular journey of taste and atmosphere.
