Michel Richard’s signature restaurant in San Francisco, Bistro M (now M.Point) at the Hotel Milano, was designed as an earthquake retrofit following the Loma Prieta quake of 1989. The dynamic angles of soffit and steel beams lent itself to an abstracted montage called “San Franciscobilia”, 125 feet of images for which the city is famous. Now under newer management, the mural is one of the few elements retained in the remodel of the bar/restaurant.
