Walid Mando of FORMA LLC designed the interior of the new Plumed Horse in a collaborative project with the new owners and the commissioned artist Makoto Fujimura. Working to embody the new Plumed Horse mission "personalizing the art of elegant dining," Mando created an artistic contemporary space that is warm and inviting. The design melds Old World elegance with sleek contemporary design. The restaurant's mahogany-accented banquet facilities, including the "Library," reflect an Old World feel. These traditional rooms blend seamlessly with the innovative design for the lounge, the dining room, and the showcase wine cellar. Designed with the preferences of Saratoga designers in mind, the contemporary dining room provides diners with space through sound-dampening treatments, lighting, and the layout, which avoids the "row of two seaters along the wall" that is in vogue in city restaurants.
