Characterized by a fresh image and energetic colors, it draws the attention of the locals and travelers who frequent the street that connects the station to the Central Market of San Lorenzo.

The challenge that we were called upon to face was on the times, the restaurant has opened to the public in just over a month since we first met the client. The tight deadlines and the available budget made us orientate on a few but essential elements: the immersive use of color, the use of few and resistant materials and the use of graphics.

Colored ceramic becomes the characterizing element of the restaurant, covering all surfaces, in a color palette that plays on the combination of yellow and pink, with the addition of some material details such as the use of wood and bamboo. The combination of colors creates a relaxed and at the same time very captivating atmosphere for guests. The counter covered with yellow ceramic becomes the fulcrum of the project that delimits the completely visible kitchen.

Despite the small size, we have created distinct areas inside the room: the seats around the counter and the counter for a quick stop and finally the tables for a more comfortable and prolonged stop.
