Nestled in the heart of Barcelona’s historic Gothic Quarter, Red Ant brings a vibrant Pan-Asian experience to one of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods. The design brief was to create an interior that not only captured the rich diversity of Asian culture but also complemented the dynamic energy of its surroundings.

To achieve this, we embraced a bold red and black color palette throughout the space, creating a dramatic yet cohesive visual identity that reflects the vibrancy and sophistication of Pan-Asian culture. Chinese traditional stamps were incorporated into custom-designed wallpaper, adding layers of texture and cultural authenticity to the walls. These elements created a sense of depth and storytelling, drawing diners into an immersive environment.

One of the standout features of the design is the use of quintessential birdcage lamps. These fixtures, iconic to Asian decor, provide a warm and inviting glow that softens the dramatic palette while enhancing the restaurant’s ambiance. Their placement throughout the space adds a touch of charm and elegance, bridging the traditional with the contemporary.

The result is an interior that seamlessly blends Asian cultural elements with modern design principles, creating a unique and memorable dining experience. Situated in the lively Gothic Quarter, Red Ant stands out as a destination where the authenticity of Pan-Asian aesthetics meets the vibrancy of Barcelona’s most storied streets.
