When LEYE began the process of replicating one of their featured Chicago restaurants, their in-house design team trusted VARIANT with the details of their design. Working closely with Restaurateur Marc Jacobs, Designer Avril Zayas, and Architect John Cinelli, our team helped realize the second location of aba in Austin, TX, bringing to life a lush, Mediterranean courtyard space in an outdoor dining oasis.

  Aba is a Mediterranean restaurant originating from Chicago’s historic Fulton Market District. Aba, meaning father in Hebrew, incorporates Chef CJ Jacobson’s lighter style of cooking with influences from the region, including Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, and Greece. The bar program, crafted by Liz Pearce, showcases rare Mediterranean-inspired wines and spirits.
