Adding to the vibrant cultural scene in Toronto’s entertainment district, the Japanese restaurant Minami has landed on the East Coast and brought its eye-catching visuals with it. The Aburi Restaurant Group collaborated closely with local firm DesignAgency (@thedesignagency) to create a space where every surface conveys a warm yet contemporary aesthetic. The plush leather seating and an arched backlit screen—made from a custom mix of glazes painted on sheer fabric—creates a sense of intimacy at the tables and wraps diners in a soft glow.
