Project Description:
This Chiquito (Basque-type) restaurant was designed by Charles Siclis (1889-1942). The double-height space is illuminated by a glass dance floor, and illuminated walls covered in silver and pink illuminated glass dance floor. Tables are covered in Basque cloth (hence the name). A large chandelier hangs from the center area of the entrance room and is made of white translucent glass tubes with silver metal mountings.
