Project overview

The design philosophy of material usage centres around ONYX Műhely’s Michelin Green Star. Reflecting on this ethos, ONYX ÆTHER was designed with a strong focus on sustainability, prioritizing thoughtful material selection and environmentally conscious solutions. In the centre of the space, lies a sunken area with a long communal table. Surrounding it is a bespoke sofa system crafted from surplus wool sourced from the Multifelt Wool Mill.

Project history

After four years of experimentation and evolution, ONYX, the hallmark of Hungarian fine dining reopened with a groundbreaking concept: ONYX ÆTHER. This new restaurant merges art, science and sustainable gastronomy to explore yet uncharted narratives of fine dining. Its multi-sensory experience unfolds through an 11-course menu that integrates centuries of innovation, from the first established restaurant, to the Industrial Revolution, and onwards to the speculative culinary landscape of 3016, featuring dishes inspired by themes such as Petri dish-grown meat, martian farming colonies and the non-human intelligence of mushrooms. ONYX ÆTHER offers a transformative dining experience — a journey where taste, sound and light interweave to redefine what a restaurant can be.
