The new Crystal restaurant/lounge is situated at the pinnacle of the Royal Ontario Museum’s new five-story aluminum-and-glass addition by architect Daniel Libeskind. The interior design is an extension of the bold, angular architecture (no right angles here).
The high-contrast space boasts a white interior punctuated by an ebony floor; ivory leather seating; sette backs in bleached anigre; and tabletops, feature walls and metal fittings in acid-etched mirror bronze. A sculptural glass screen separates the entry corridor from the black granite bar. And architecturally driven light fixtures include diagonally mounted light sticks over the bar and “slashes” of light in the walls and ceiling.

Daniel Libeskind? Wow! He's crazy amazing. Yeah, I said it was crazy because seeing his works makes me crazy. I am really in love with his works and I admire his passion with designing and constructing buildings. Critics often describe Libeskind's work as deconstructivist. Libeskind is perhaps most famous for being selected by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to oversee the rebuilding of the World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks. He's really one of a kind. Senior Healthcare Consultants
