# Classy Diner-Style Interiors GRT Architects Install a Checkered Floor in Don Angie Restaurant By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-03-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dinerstyle-interior References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2018/03/18/grt-architects-don-angie-restaurant-interior-west-village-new-york-city/) & [grtarchitects](http://www.grtarchitects.com/don-angie/) Creatives at the studio of [GRT Architects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/east-village-apartment) put a glamorous spin on the classic diner-style interior for an Italian-American restaurant in New York City's West Village. Highlighting rounded corners in the furnishing, as well as the arched doorways and bar display, brass details and iconic checkered marble tiles, GRT Architects are able to elevate the [diner-style interior design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capital-city-diner) to the heights of the [art deco movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watchhouse-caf). In keeping with the experimental and crafty food fusion of American and Italian cuisine at Don Angie, GRT Architects decided on a similar approach for the firm's design project. The result is a stylish blend between the "effortless glamour of Northern Italian [elements]" and "the familiarity of a North New Jersey red-sauce joint."
