“The innovative interior design of JRK!  and Mangrove combines two distinct projects into a single multifunctional space, offering a diverse experience with a vibrant nod to Jamaican culture,” say Andreas De Camps and Olivia King, co-founders of FictionWorks.

JRK! , a casual Jamaican restaurant, presents a bright and inviting atmosphere. With an emphasis on natural light, it features build-your-own bowl creations, traditional Jamaican breakfast patties, coffee, and fresh pastries available through the "patty window."  Each offering is meticulously crafted to honor Jamaican culinary traditions.

On the other side, Mangrove provides an upscale, speakeasy-style bar and lounge.  This intimate, dimly lit space is adorned with vintage Caribbean décor, abundant greenery, and local art.  It includes a DJ booth with vinyl records, setting the perfect backdrop for enjoying cocktails and great music in a nostalgic environment.

Together, these spaces create a unique concept that caters to both casual dining and sophisticated lounging, reflecting the cultural richness and vibrancy of Jamaica in every detail.

The space exudes an eclectic charm, seamlessly blending mid-century modern elements that evoke the nostalgic allure of the 60s and 70s. Vibrant Hues Define a Lively Dining Experience. The designers ingeniously incorporated the restaurant's brand colors – yellow and green – into the overall aesthetic.
