Oyshi, Trenčín
Similarly to the asian cuisine. Our approach to creating the interior of Oyshi was based on contrast of sharp oppositions. Contradictions in scale, colour and purpose improve orientation and enhance dramaturgically elaborate movement through space.

The entire space works as a background, a sort of canvas

mug ‘n’ hug by do:gma; Cyprus
Efficiency, ritual, process and indulgence were the keywords that the client insisted on. Inevitably, they were reflected in the zoning of the space: preparation and serving areas are located on the one edge, exhibition and sampling on the opposite edge, customisation of purchase and workshop tutorials run along the boundary between the two zones, whereas sitting for a few visitors is provided on both sides of the shop front.
