Jinya Ramen, Culver City
At Acacia Contract & Seating, every project we take on is approached with purpose, creativity, and a dedication to exceptional craftsmanship. To us, a completed space is never just about construction—it’s a reflection of our passion for thoughtful design, quality materials, and a client-centered process. Our portfolio spans a diverse range of commercial millwork and fixed seating installations, each meticulously crafted to align with our clients’ brand identity, aesthetic vision, and functional requirements.
Project Scope
The highlight is on the Jinya Ramen project in Culver City. This project involved millwork and upholstery for the ramen restaurant. As a new construction, it spanned 6 months, accommodating construction delays and submittal reviews. The primary elements of this project included:
a) Architectural millwork in geometric shapes applied to the soffit above the bar, creating a striking wave pattern
b) Booth seating
d) Service cabinets
e) Metal bar shelving with integrated LED lighting
f) Installation of client-provided furniture
g) A metal communal table structure using metal I-beams and custom stools secured to the floor
Challenges faced:
– Working with Doug fir material, a soft wood, to achieve the desired color tone
– Ensuring the key plans were followed precisely in the final dimensions of the architectural millwork on the bar soffit
– Executing a curved banquette with a crowned seat using uni-directional pattern vinyl required meticulous planning
During the installation phase of the Jinya Ramen project, our team faced the complexity of coordinating multiple elements to harmoniously blend functionality and aesthetic. Despite the challenges, there was an undercurrent of excitement and determination. Our innovative spirit shone brightly, transforming potential hurdles into opportunities for creative problem-solving. We approached each task with a sense of adventure, confident in our ability to deliver excellence. This project reinforced our belief that no project, regardless of size or difficulty, is beyond our grasp. Through adaptability and teamwork, we thrive on pushing boundaries and pioneering new solutions.
