The YODEZEEN design team was tasked with creating a space that seamlessly combines the tranquility and precision of Japanese design with the vibrant colors, rich textures, and hospitable ambiance of Greece. This fusion should evoke a sense of intrigue, cultural synthesis, and balance, ultimately leaving a lasting impression on all who enter. This project presents a blend of contrasting aesthetics of these two distinct cultures into a captivating and unforgettable dining experience.

At the entrance, bamboo-like towers, partially painted in red, create a captivating hostess zone. The combination of this natural element with a signature Japanese color leaves an unforgettable impression.

Immersed in an in-depth exploration of Japanese and Greek cultures, YODEZEEN has curated a selection of distinctive elements that find their place within the restaurant's interior. 

Suspended above the main bar, an accent lamp takes the form of an ice layer, paying tribute to the establishment's exquisite cocktails. It also symbolizes the beating core at the heart of the Earth.

Intriguing bead lamps serve as a nod to the skilled craftsmen of Greek culture, who fashioned jewelry from shells collected by local fishermen.

As an homage to Asian traditions, intricately carved columns symbolize authenticity, while the wall materials draw inspiration from the sun-drenched clay houses of Greece, mirroring the dance of shadows cast by the waves of the sea.

Finally, a waterfall goes down one of the partitions in the hall, bringing the vibrant energy of living nature into the space. 

YODEZEEN's commitment to incorporating natural elements into their projects epitomizes the belief that nothing surpasses the beauty and vitality of nature in modern architecture and design.
