Modern style and cutting-edge design abound inside the Plums Café restroom in Costa Mesa. Owner Kim Jorgenson, a native of Oregon, worked with Steve Brabson of Franklin Studios Architecture to create a space inspired by life along the Pacific coast. The grey terrazzo floors represent wet sand and the curved marble mosaic walls are a nod to the rumbling waves. Many of the cafe’s signature dishes also feature ingredients indigenous to the Pacific Northwest. “All the time people say ‘Wow! Who did your bathrooms?’ and also ‘Where can we buy the hooks?’” says Jorgenson. The “hooks” refer to the metal sculptures in the form of people that double as a place for a coat or purse. “An enormous amount of time and talent went into creating a unique restroom experience for our guests,” says Jorgenson. “We integrated risk-taking ideas, and it would be wonderful to be acknowledged for our hard work and innovation.”
