One of these places is underwater. Honestly, though, I kind of like the underwater restaurant. If it was surface-dwelling, I would probably shun it, but when combined with the native aquatic fauna of Eilat (dolphins, colorful fish, Russians), it gives me this oddly comforting feeling of a forward-thinking cocktail lounge in 1960s Atlantis. Bossa nova is playing, and a lot of the house drinks feature blue curacao. Also, the floor looks fun to slide across. The MSS couch, though, is terrifying. All it lacks is a pop-up mirrored ceiling. "But does anyone have any ideas on how to incorporate Serfaty’s work into your average design-fan’s home?" Be very, very wealthy. Kitsch has its place. One of these places is underwater.
