There are to main areas in the restaurant, cleary conceptual differentiated. In any case the inner idea is to create and define different spaces with horizontal folded planes.
Following the previous idea, furniture is integrated and design as horizontal elements, which is able to create a kind of layered topography of visual combinations by different type of movements.
This folded shapes are hanging thanks to steel roof structure and minimuz size cables in order to create a floating sensation of space and a precious instability. Fluid space.
Once inside, feelings start to come: space is qualified by many horizontal layers shaping a non-touching-ground elements space.
Colors definde each type of culinary space where lights are design to maximize its attributes with acid color which are able to create a more active perception of space.
They are resins tables for hygiene, it is a continuous material without boards. And this material allows the possibility of use many colors.

spaces, getting complemented each one by
the others.

area.

Space gets used at its lenghty size from where
is possible to drop to every area.
