When you think of Greece, what do you think of? Cloudless skies? Blue and white buildings? Or warm and generous people? The restaurant we are going to introduce today is called LOS, which is actually "L obster, Oyster, Sushi", but from the internal design, would you imagine that its predecessor was a sponge factory?
The harbor of the Symi Islands, because of its hub geographical advantage, adds to the brilliance of this once shining pearl on the sea. In ancient Greek mythology, it is said to be the origin of Charite0s, the goddess of grace, and even later It was one of the fortresses during the Trojan War. It was ruled by the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire successively. The area gradually developed into a major producer of shipbuilding and sponge manufacturing, and now it is mainly based on tourism.
We invited Input Creative Studio, a design firm in New York, to reference the islands historical evolution and Greek culture, injecting modern modern logos and hanging special-shaped light bulbs, using Greek-style tones on the exterior. Framing the buildings main panels and creating a comfortable and laid-back outdoor dining area.
IndoorThe bar uses copper water pipes to shuttle through it, and uses hanging yellow light bulbs to symbolize the softness of sponges. It also uses porous concrete to form a surface, and uses dynamic movement streamlines to metaphor the former sponge factory. This design itself is simply The creation of a work of art. The patterned tiles laid on the floor are like a diving mask. The recurring pattern occupies almost the entire underground area, representing the tranquil ocean beneath Symi Island, lurking underneath, and the brass pipe columns are also supported like brackets. The floor and ceiling simultaneously symbolize the sponge factory that the islanders relied on for their livelihood.
Look at the outdoor dining area. It is white and blue, with red as the straight block color distribution. It also represents the spirit of the country of Greece to a certain extent: freedom, peace, and friendship. The red may represent the undiminished enthusiasm of the people. , just like walking into this restaurant, the boss will definitely welcome you with a big smile!
