Best Ugly: Restaurant Concepts and Architecture by Avroko

How did the James Beard awardwinning design and architecture team AvroKO become one of the hottest restaurant design firms in Manhattan? They start with a concept which blossoms to images ideas colours and objects. One of the design lexicons that stuck with the design team is "best ugly" a term that AvroKO came across when traveling together in China. The oxymoronic yet interesting term is used to describe something that is beautiful and charming in an offbeat awkward and obtuse sort of way. In their design book "Best Ugly" the thirtysomething design team of best friends shows readers how each idea and concept can be integrated into a sophisticated design touch. For anyone interested in design restaurants architecture or sexy photography "Best Ugly" is a visual feast.
