“The French Laundry was redesigned to be a backdrop worthy of the restaurant’s history,” Thomas Keller said. “With the Louvre Pyramid as my inspiration, we wanted to find a way to juxtapose the historic and the modern while maintaining the high-quality cuisine and service our guests have come to expect from The French Laundry. The new design will be an innovative and functioning space that will allow us to continue to evolve as a restaurant and develop new standards.”

In keeping with Thomas Keller’s aesthetic vision, Halton collaborated with Food Service design consultant, Timothy Harrison of Harrison Koellner, LLC to create a space that provided both the striking visual elements as well as the operational efficiency for the ventilation system. Incorporating a number of Halton technologies, including the unique Ventilated Ceiling System, resulted in a design that captured the combination of creativity and innovation.
