When the Francis Burger Joint team began designing their first restaurant, a handful of red Hot Mesh stools were already in place—and quickly became the anchor for the entire space. Drawn to the design’s graphic presence and durability, they chose to use the Hot Mesh collection throughout the restaurant. Against a backdrop of black paint, red neon, and stainless steel, the red Hot Mesh bar stools help bring a distinctly punk rock edge to a family-friendly, fast-casual neighborhood eatery. Working closely with the Blu Dot team made the process seamless, from selecting pieces to fine-tuning details. Today, the finished space functions effortlessly and has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response.
