 | | After seeing Tihany's work at New York's Le Cirque 2000 and La Coupole, Keller knew the designer could do anything from traditional to high-concept, and that whatever direction the design took it would render a portrait of the chef or owner that was strong and true. |
 | | Where Tihany's design for Le Cirque was colorful and animated, a reflection of the ringmaster vitality of the restaurant's proprietor, Sirio Maccioni, his design for Per Se is elegant, subtle, timeless. |
 | | Tihany's dining chairs, with their low, splayed arms, are models of comfort and grace executed in walnut, caning, and a luminous, ribbed taupe fabric. |
