As a destination of divergence, the offering of a bar and tapas dining also acts as contrast to the contemplative and meditative work of Turrell. The space is designed for everyday dining as well as functions and custom events, and each piece needed to accommodate the alteration of the interior as needed. Custom pill shaped rose quartz tables were designed as jewels along with the luminous arabescata white marble tables, working with Kirsha Kaechele to compliment the bespoke tableware & cutlery and providing a creative match to the food and beverage offering by the talented MONA team As a destination and place of respite from the sensory chaotic engagement of the gallery, Pharos provides the ultimate milieu – a place of reflection.
