A New Zealand Pop-Up in San Francisco

August 28, 2013

The most exciting thing about the America’s Cup race going on in San Francisco right now? It’s not a catamaran, but a pop-up restaurant from New Zealand.

A collaborative effort from New Zealand architects Fearon Hay, chefs Desmond Harris and Hayden McMillan, and furniture designers Douglas & Bec, the Waiheke Island Yacht Club channels the wild beauty of this little-known (to us, at least) island off the coast of Auckland. Design elements include a terrazzo-topped bar, handmade stools from Douglas + Bec (haphazardly upholstered with animal skins), and custom leather dining chairs. For more, go to Waiheke Island Yacht Club.
