Light-filled, low-key, and just the right amount of downtown.

Studio Sio, led by interior designer Shanta Trusewich, completed the interior design for Old Rose restaurant at the Jane Hotel, New York City, in 2017. The Jane Hotel, built in 1908, housed survivors of the Titanic in 1912. Old Rose is an all-day café and restaurant occupying the ground floor of the historic building. The interior references the building's layered history through arched windows, checkered floors, and patinated walls. A model ship above the bar nods to the hotel's connection to the Titanic. The project was covered by New York Magazine's Grub Street and The Infatuation.

Part all-day café, part neighbourhood standby, part Italian-by-way-of-New-York hangout. Studio Sio kept the design unfussy but intentional — natural wood, soft lighting, and a layout that shifts easily from early coffee to late cocktails.
