The Amber Tile Supper Hall
Published · Updated
Honey coloured ceramic tiles sweep across the intersecting vaults of this warm supper hall. Their diagonal courses change direction with the curves, and strings of tiny golden lights trace the arch edges overhead. A broad pale stone counter follows a gentle bend through the room, lined with brown leather stools on polished metal bases. Behind it, stacked white plates, clear glasses and stainless work surfaces catch quiet reflections from the lamps.
Dark wooden booths occupy the window side of the hall, where tall arches frame a harbour after rain. Small boats and distant lights appear beyond the wet glass, adding cool blue tones to the amber interior. Terracotta floor tiles and worn leather seats make the room feel familiar beneath its extraordinary ceiling. Seen from a short entrance step, the photograph reveals the counter, booths and successive vaults together. The closely set tiles remain the visual centre of the space, their varied glaze turning ordinary construction into an intricate canopy of light.
