Set within the restored lobby of San Francisco Proper’s historic flatiron building, Villon takes its name from French Cubist painter Jacques Villon. The restaurant draws from his understated approach to modernism, bringing together European design influences within a Cubist-inspired interior. Intimate in scale and rich in detail, the space balances geometric forms with vintage and custom furnishings spanning different eras.
In the main Villon dining room, the custom Negro Marquina marble and walnut bar commands the room with its brass appointed towering spirits library. The blue and black motif of the room is accented by wood, stone, metals and glass at a delicate scale. Blue ribbed wood paneling is fragmented with geometric shards of antique mirror that open-up the room with surprising vistas and reflections that create a sense of intimacy and unexpected social interaction. Various styles of custom leather dining banquettes, etched wood tables, and a two-toned patterned oak wood floor add warm, unifying elements to the sophisticated custom and vintage geometric-infused furnishings.
