We developed this concept proposal for an Italian restaurant and store in the city center of Sofia. The site was an existing building with a complex layout and labyrinth spaces.

The main challenge in this project was to work within the diverse spaces the building was offering. We created a “spine” of wooden arcs that goes through the floors and unifies the rooms into one organism. Our approach in the design of the lamps, tables and other elements of the interior was similar, in order to create a unique harmonious atmosphere. The spine starts out at the entrance of the building, to act as a funnel that draws visitors in.
