Touches like the simple Matter Made stools create an efficient, casual atmosphere in the eatery. (Alan Gastelum)

Ninth Street Ramen is a sharply dressed restaurant wedged into a tight stretch of storefronts in downtown Los Angeles. It has an underground cool typical of Suplex, a local interior architecture and branding firm led by Devin Carlson and Nathan Warkentin. The duo carefully orchestrated every detail of the 875-square-foot eatery, from the restrained neon signage in the front windows to the custom tubular stacking stools from Matter Made, to evoke the charm of a traditional Tokyo ramen shop, with a number of contemporary touches.
