There are few places in the world where one can enjoy sushi while surrounded by cool, contemporary art. 3110NZ, a collaboration between former three-Michelin-starred Sushi Saito and acclaimed art dealer Nanzuka, gives customers an experience that is both aesthetically pleasing and delicious.
By day, the venue, which was designed by New York design studio Snarkitecture, operates as a public art gallery; the cavernous space with its extensive walls displays exhibitions that change every six to eight weeks. By night, it transforms into a sushi restaurant. Premium, high-quality seafood is served from behind a single sushi bar located in the centre of the gallery seating just eight lucky guests.
