I love the natural look of the The Nautilus Project restaurant. Designed with an organic presence in mind, it really complements the seafood offered in this particular eatery, bringing a calm and healthy vibe to the dining experience.

Designed by Tokyo-based studio [Design Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loong-noodles), The Nautilus Project restaurant is located on the fourth floor of the ION shopping center on Orchard Road in Singapore. As though inspired by the oysters and crustaceans served, there is a [curvaceous motif seen throughout the space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasona-natureverse-pavilion) as well.

Instead of going for a rustic aesthetic, The Nautilus Project restaurant is [sophisticated and elegant](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sid-lee-architecture), reflecting not only the owner's style, but also the cuisine and clientele of the restaurant itself.
