Steal This Look: Farina in San Francisco
Issue 30 · Into the Woods · July 27, 2010
San Francisco Mission District restaurant Farina was designed by Brett Terpeluk (who spent a decade working with Renzo Piano in Italy) and Monica Viarengo; the interior features handcrafted steel fixtures, shelves, and bar by British artisan Peter Jeal. The Louise Nevelson–inspired marble counter (pieced together from vintage sink basins) is by Nathan Hunt of Hunt Studios in San Francisco; the round tables feature tops repurposed from the establishment's former signage. Read about the project in the SF Chronicle and see Cesar Rubio's photos at SF Gate.
