Naples, FL – June 2016 / Newsmaker Alert / Clive Daniel Hospitality, a division of Clive Daniel Home, the premier Naples home furnishings retailer and interior design firm, has recently competed interiors for the newly opened 1500 SOUTH restaurant at Naples Bay Resort, a signature restaurant of celebrity Chef Art Smith.

“We truly enjoyed working with Chef Art Smith, who requested that we provide a white canvas from a design standpoint to ensure that the food would be the guest’s primary visual focus,” commented Nancy Woodhouse IDS, Clive Daniel Hospitality’s VP of Design and Business Development. “With its location overlooking Naples Bay and the Gordon River setting the stage, the clean, contemporary Florida coastal interior design to showcase the artistry of the chef.”

To accomplish Chef Art Smith’s culinary vision, Woodhouse and her Clive Daniel Hospitality team – including Ron Nowfel of the company’s Orlando office||incorporated natural elements of driftwood for the walls. A 26-foot long counter of white onyx created one of the restaurant’s most impactful design elements, while at the same time separating the dining room from the open kitchen. The entire counter is illuminated beneath with new cutting edge lighting technology.

Added Woodhouse, “Because people love watching food preparation, the onyx counter has become the stage on which the magic happens … just like in the theater.”

New marble flooring was incorporated to captivate the ambiance of the driftwood. Decorative floating displays subtly divide the room and incorporate intimacy to the dining areas. A 15-foot-long functioning wine wall also helps separate areas of the restaurant. To add an Italian flair, suggested by the Chef, the lighting was kept clean except for the dramatic contemporary Murano-styled red glass chandelier, which has generated architectural interest. Original, oversized canvas paintings are provided by Chef Art’s husband, artist Jesus Saigueiro. They and their four children look forward to this summer and many summers at Naples Bay while “Papi Chef Art” works in the restaurant.

Commented Chef Art Smith, “While my name is on other restaurants, I have a special love for this one as well as the Naples Bay Resort and the entire community. The interiors are exactly what I had hoped for. Nancy and the Clive Daniel Hospitality team did an amazing job at interpreting my vision and creating a magical ambiance.”

A two-time James Beard Award recipient, Chef Art Smith is the executive chef and co-owner of six restaurants across the country. The sixth-generation Florida native has worked as a personal chef for top celebrities, including ten years for Oprah Winfrey, in addition to serving as the chef for former Florida Governors Bob Graham and Jeb Bush.
