Carstens Associates
has been creating total environments for the hospitality industry
nationally by satisfying the broad spectrum of functional and
innovative needs for over 15 years. Headed by Don Carstens, President
and Principal, the design firm goes far beyond conventional design
strategies by orchestrating the architecture, surface material
and lighting into a cohesive and harmonious design unique to each
client and project. Carstens' background in the fine art is apparent
in all of his projects, which visibly incorporate an artists'
perspective. Custom furnishings and fixtures, implementing modern
interpretations on old classics, and highly attuned sense of propriety
in materials and design direction comprise Carstens design philosophy:
A truly great restaurant design must support the chef and proprietors'
intentions, menu and philosophy on entertaining.
