This new culinary space, designed by the Astet studio for the Dani García Group, treasures the essence of the primitive, of fire, of embers and of primary materials such as stone and wood, which are not only elements of the interior design project, but are also the basis for the preparation of the gastronomic proposal.

Upon entering the restaurant, you realize that Leña is something different, its façade with its black circular metallic forms resembles the shape of rings found in chopped firewood. The transparent glass alternates with another type of glass that was exclusively designed by the studio for Leña, with an amber tone and a pyramidal texture, which creates a visual filter and interesting optical effects.

Once past the entrance door, an opaque, curved and wooden lobby welcomes us to the new culinary experience. Both the ceiling and the floor of this small area experiment with the textures, refining the primitivism of fire and wood. This opacity at the entrance also enhances the surprise effect when discovering what lies behind it. The interior space is distributed in an open floor plan, each seating group has a unique ambience, that caters to different moods, showing different nuances, colors and textures.

The first space is the whiskey bar, the bar is a five-meter wooden truck punched with linear mirror stripes, which creates an infinite perception of cuts. The bar top is a veined black tropical stone that gives character to this element.  The back-bar area, which also doubles as a room divider, has a cascade display of the different varieties of national and international whiskies. This structure of textured wood and brass creates an almost sculptural element for the exposition of whiskey bottles.  A suspended brass bar canopy that also functions as a pendant light hangs over the bar and nicely contrasts with the dark tones of the bar. The large skylight provides natural lighting to the space and unites this space with luminosity to the outdoor terrace.
