Specialty Food Court/Counter-Service Restaurant
Award of Merit
Chute Gerdeman, Columbus, Ohio
At the redesigned Pick Up Stix, wok-like light fixtures, a new logo featuring chopsticks and wall graphics combine traditional and contemporary Asian elements. Textured bamboo walls separate the dine-in and pick-up counters for more efficient service, while large, colorful menu stands are placed at eye level for easy viewing.
