When ordering the interior design of a restaurant, the owner of Cafe Sant wanted to create a versatile space that could easily transform from a breakfast-oriented brunch café during the day into a sophisticated fast-casual restaurant and a wine bar in the evenings.
The visual metaphor for the cafe's interior is dawn on a summer wheat field. The concept of the restaurant continues the general idea of the place - one of the main directions is a variety of breakfasts. The interior of the restaurant has a lot of art-objects, which unite all interior elements into one image. A variety of glossy surfaces (mirrors, polished stainless steel) and a complex planning solution add additional space and atmosphere. The floor plan provides a variety of seating - casual dining areas, lounge areas and a large bar area.

Materials and finishes played a significant role in the success of the project. We utilized existing elements, such as restoring and re-laying Italian parquet flooring, to maintain the timeless elegance of the space. The use of cork, stainless steel and painted MDF in the décor and finishes brought a modern touch while maintaining an inviting and warm atmosphere.
The color palette of the restaurant's interior was carefully selected to reflect the brand's personality and the surrounding natural landscape. Earthy tones, warm neutral shades and subtle splashes of color create a sense of harmony and tranquility, immersing visitors in a serene environment.
Each piece of furniture was selected in accordance with the format of the café and the design concept. A six-meter bar counter made of seamless curved stainless steel sheets and a zigzag double-sided sofa bench dividing the space deserve special attention.
The compositional center of the interior is a mirrored wall consisting of ten corner segments, which visually expands the space.
