Miss Ko is the new art-restaurant concept that is being launched on Avenue Gorges 5 in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Philippe Starck, always fond of novelties and novelties, is associated with the place by making his creativity abound.
"Sometimes dreams are feverish, crazy, strange. You wake up different, dazzled by what you have experienced, relieved to wake up, sad not to be sure to return. Miss Ko is that, only that, especially that. A fantasy created from scratch, an Asian exquisite cadaver, a crazy collage where we come across a distant court of miracles in a street from Blade Runner, where creative madness reigns without limits, where artists have no more barriers, where technology shows an exciting tomorrow, where industry becomes art. David Rocheline's portrait of the enigmatic Miss Ko reigns over an anarchic universe of screaming cooks in the steam of their kitchens, laundry cans in wonderland, acid aquarium frescoes, monstrously large and overly bright teapots. A profusion of incomprehensible signs, although perhaps Asian. An infinite exaggeration of information screens, disinformation... In Miss Ko's universe, nothing is normal, not even us. It's contagious." Philippe Starck
Miss Ko is a restaurant imagined as the scenario of an original and phantasmagorical experience. A global work whose director is Philippe Starck and whose main heroine is the mysterious Miss Ko. The central element of the restaurant is a dining bar made up of screens, 26m long, representing the spirit of sharing of the place. It will continuously broadcast the Asian television news, which is punctuated by the passage of a dragon in a video creation by the Dalbin label.
You will discover on a wall, the monumental fresco in the shape of futuristic manga of David Rochline, iconoclastic artist. This " food street " comes to life thanks to the morphing of Asian faces projected on the concrete wall that complete the magic of the place. All this relief created by Philippe Starck is skilfully highlighted by the lighting designer Jean-Philippe Bourdon, who invites shadows as extras and plays on elements that seem to lose all proportion, such as this creation by the plastic artist Régis-R.
Imagined by Claude Louzon, Miss Ko embodies the genius of the place that opens the doors to its elsewhere in Paris.
Miss Ko is not just a restaurant, it is a mixture of street food, art and curiosities, a synthesis between restaurant, canteen, tea room, party place and art scene. This 500m2 restaurant is intended to be a place of creativity. Every week, artists related to the fields of cuisine, design and fashion will be invited in this Asian canteen to show you their art.
As its name suggests, the cuisine will be Japanese style with gyozas, sushis and sashizzas, competing with Asian dishes revisited by European influences. Come and taste the flavors of the Far East and the West elaborated by Fabrice Monot, Executive Chef, who invited Linda Rodriguez (Bond Street New-York, Hachi Las Vegas) and Martin Swift (Nobu London).
In short, a new concept that will delight the most original and curious among us.
