It has been so cool to learn more about design and grow as an interior designer. All thanks to my partner and his hard work - we have been able to complete some pretty cool projects. Like T Touch Nail Salon in Brooklyn. A stunning 2 story salon that is as creative and beautiful as the owner is. We pulled from our inspirations of organic curves and soft textures to elevate the luxury of the salon. I am so proud of .studios (our design firm). Please do me a favor and go follow Wild Form and T Touch for more content. If you need design services let us know!

Inspiration all around. Love the texture and feeling of New York. Each person. Their own universe. We are all supporting roles, background characters, in the lives of others.

Is this not just serving the hardest?!. Keep your eyes and ears open for some fun updates. In the meantime, let this homeboy seep into your dreams.

Oti began as a small dream in 2019 and it grew into something beautiful because of you. Our team and our guests made this place feel alive and full of heart.
We will be closing our doors at 40 Clinton Street. This is a choice we made to support a strong and healthy future for Oti. We are not ending. We are moving into catering, pop ups, private events and finishing our cookbook.
I wrote a short letter on our blog that shares what this journey has meant to me. Please tap the link in our bio to read it.
We will share details soon about our final days and our closing events. I would love to see you and serve you again before we say goodbye to this space.
Thank you for all the love.
Thank you for every memory.
With love,
Chef Elias
