Offices book the whole space for dinners and rewards on achievements and target completion so we have stage and dJ setup for unplugged music to host their parties and wind up the day.
At empire cafe & bistro. We aimed for a free spirited aesthetic that fuses various cultures and artistic expression into a fusion style with a focus on organic components and the natural world. We considered merging patterns, metals, woods, materials and greens from everyday life to add comfort and feel to this bohemian style restaurant.
We added a touch of cane to the sets and hung planters from the ceiling to give the motif pure justice while creating a really warm and inviting atmosphere. Terrazzo, Olive green and a small highlighter used to create the flooring. This has very tidy and refined appearance.
There is a direct passage from the bar to the dining area that’s to the bistro cafe’s entrance. The floor and loo are covered in natural terrazzo tiles in an olive green color, creating natural flow between al of the bistro’s cafe’s elements. The eating room is divided from the rest of the interiors and is situated in the middle of the restaurant. Giving the walk a distinct personality are the brick cladding, olive color and black and white picture frames.
