Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait Dai Forni and Sintoho Restaurant

Kokaistudios is proud to announce its latest collaboration with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts: the opening of Dai Forni, an upscale Italian restaurant, and Sintoho, an Asian specialty restaurant. The restaurants are located on the top floor of the newly built Four Seasons Kuwait in the Burj Alshaya building. Kokaistudios previously collaborated with Four Seasons on the all-day dining restaurant at the Four Seasons Kyoto. This time, the Four Seasons team invited Kokaistudios to conceive two distinct restaurants on the top floor, connected by a terrace overlooking Kuwait. The landmark building in central Kuwait was completed by Gensler. In conceiving the top-floor restaurants, we imagined them as an oasis in the desert. The two restaurant concepts draw from day and night, water and fire. The Italian restaurant's massive oven and fire pillars echo fire and daytime, while the Asian restaurant's deep tones and water columns correspond to water and night. Dai Forni and Sintoho create two contrasting yet complementary dining experiences, each with its own identity but sharing the same spectacular views. The project by Kokaistudios demonstrates how restaurant design can use elemental concepts to create distinct atmospheric worlds within a single building.
