Re-wired vintage chandelier + antique bird cage stand = Fiat Lux

Named after the freewheeling gypsy, Gitane is a modern, funky, and artistically bold restaurant located in downtown San Francisco between the financial district and Union Square. Chef Lisa Eyherabide creates simple, approachable bistro fare emblematic of the Basque region, drawing inspiration from neighboring Spain, France, and Portugal. An elevated bar program pairs these exotic tastes and sensations with unique and interesting sherries, cavas, madeiras, Spanish brandies, and innovative hand-crafted cocktails and small-estate wines. The interior decor from Mr. Important Design unabashedly integrates vibes from three separate decades — the Euro-themed 50's, Hippie-Driven 60's and Big Bling 70's giving the space a traditional yet modern, eclectic feel. Artwork from Turkey and the U.K. flank the walls, including the Goya-esque photography of Nazif Topçuoglu and the vintage fantasies of Deborah Bowness's hand printed wallpapers. Riffs on French mid-century design elements come by way of two huge vintage chandeliers based on 50's French design as well as mid-century lighting that has been collected from various sources throughout Europe. Specialty fabrics designed by Nina Campbell paired with furnishings from Anthropolgie and Tom Dixon round out the rooms.
