413 | Nama Abidjan

Nama serves Nikkei cuisine, where Japanese technique meets the landscape of Peru, and this renovation takes its cue from the same dialogue. The concept board sets terraced Andean fields, a mountain ridge glowing at dusk and wind-drawn sand side by side. The restaurant turns them into a room of layered, earth-coloured light.

A ridge-line landscape, painted onto gridded panels and lit from behind, wraps the dining room like a horizon. The bar counter is backlit onyx, its veining read as strata. Woven cylindrical columns filter light into the seating, and brass pendants shaped like folded leaves arc over the tables on slender arms.

Below a slatted walnut ceiling, rust-toned banquettes, patterned chairs and small amber lamps divide the floor into booths without closing it off. Palms rise between the tables, and the light stays low and warm, for long evenings.
