In recent months, large rocks have emerged as statement design pieces in several NYC restaurants. This trend began at Flynn McGarry's stylish Gem Home in lower Manhattan, where Francky Knapp spotted a slab of stone in the sink during a brunch. The stone, surrounded by rust-colored mineral deposits, remained a source of intrigue for months until another establishment adopted the trend.
At Rhythm Zero in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, large rocks were placed in the bathroom and near the mirror, becoming a memorable feature for Somorai. The stones were chosen for their size and form, with some featuring metal support wires to hold hanging plants. For Pizza 4P’s, the boulders were transported from a stone wholesaler in New Jersey, fitting into the restaurant's custom design inspired by themes like biodiversity.
Now, three NYC restaurants feature these decorative rocks, each adding a unique touch to their interior design.
