Pizzeria Trappa is located in an industrial, office area of Ljubljana in a building from the 70’s. The existing restaurant space was renovated and expanded with the awareness of the building’s age and the area, that it is located in. The space is designed so that it creates a bright and relaxed environment and is also family friendly.
The biggest source of inspiration was the original bright red colour of the Italian pizza oven, that was the basis for the color palette. It led to the selection of turquoise blue for the floor and bright yellow accents. For the warmth, acoustics and to hide the electrical wiring, the concrete ceiling is covered with a grid of wooden slats. Also most of the tables and shelves are in oak wood.
The space is divided into 3 areas with different types of seating that create diversity and break up the large 300 m2 space. The seating booths, comunal table, beer bar and wine shelves were all custom designed for the space.
What makes this project one-of-a-kind?
The unique feature of the project are the bold colours and fun vibe.
