Project: Project: “Yasouvlaki” Restaurant, NYC, Upper West Side
The design for the new “Yasouvlaki” restaurant is defined by all the Greek traditional elements: the white and blue colors, the traditional mosaic floor, the traditional old tile motives, the tavern chairs, the pottery element, the greenery and the colours of the bougainvilleas, the wicker element, the reeds structure on the ceiling and the wood element, giving this way the Greek island feeling and vibe.
Stepping in the ground floor private space of ‘Yasouvlaki’ Greek restaurant, you get instantly the feeling that you walk in the narrow distinctive paved streets of a Cycladic Island in Greece among the traditional white – washed walls of the Aegean coast.
Our interior design approach wanted to bring the calming embrace of natural textures—wood, stone, and woven elements—alongside touches of Greek heritage, like intricate mosaics and rustic decoration elements, evoking the spirit of Greek hospitality and tradition.
The exterior restaurant dining space steps you back in time to the charm of classic 70’s Greek design, bringing a nostalgic vibe and perfectly blending the charm of old-world Greece with the energy of NYC.
