Exotic ambiance
The restaurant’s design draws deeply from the vivid colours, textures, and ambiance of Moroccan marketplaces and the Mediterranean region.
Design Philosophy
The space is anchored by a central U-shaped bar, serving as the heart of the restaurant, while an open-concept kitchen adds to the inviting and dynamic atmosphere. The client’s legacy was woven into the design through artifacts and furnishings from a previous restaurant, enhancing the narrative of continuity and personal history.
Material Palette & Decorations
Warm wood tones and blonde wood finishes are layered with brass accents to establish a tactile and visually engaging material palette. Custom lighting fixtures, including tassel lights and sculptural sconces, are thoughtfully placed to serve both functional and artistic purposes, enhancing the overall ambiance. The repetition of architectural elements, such as elegant arches, creates a sense of rhythm and timeless sophistication. Real plants are incorporated throughout the space, bringing freshness and vibrancy to the interior.
Custom Structures
The seating areas feature custom banquettes that combine varied upholstery, intricate screen accents, and detailed leg designs. Each piece was chosen with care to reflect the Mediterranean inspiration while prioritizing comfort and style. Lighting acts as a focal point, with carefully designed fixtures creating defined spaces and highlighting key architectural features. Every element of the design is intended to immerse diners in a Mediterranean-inspired retreat. From the detailed textures to the curated artifacts, the space offers a sensory-rich experience that harmonizes beauty with functionality. The project embodies Mediterranean charm and modern elegance, ensuring a memorable and timeless dining atmosphere.
