Gems’s Restaurant
2024
RED RED RED, and a bit of purple, a splash of glam, great food, and most importantly a bit of SHOCK factor.
This concept provokes you, makes you intrigued, and leaves you with an imagination that keeps wondering even after you left the restaurant.
The clients challenged us with this innovative concept, and we were able to compile their wishes into a design that is unique in Cluj. Choosing the right materials for this color palette was no easy feat.
The historic ceiling of the building was restored and it’s decorations highlighted.

This is the concept result after many iterations and discussions with the client, and it represents the finalized version of how the project will be implemented.

Hide & Seek
Implemented and successful :
Seeing the amount of vibrance and light that we managed to introduce into the space, and how clients enjoy using each and every table gives us the confidence that we managed to compensate for the space’s difficulty - an old deep, industrial space - by turning it into a green lively oasis to enjoy great Italian food.
