Mythos

The transformation of Mythos Restaurant in Craiova was a drastic one. Primarily targeted for a 35+ year old audience, the aim was to transform the restaurant's previously outdated design into one that is chic and sophisticated as well as modern and up-to-date, thus appealing to loyal customers while also attracting a new clientele.

Firstly, changing the colour palette to deep, rich blues contrasted by white and nude wooden tones, from previously existing oranges and dark browns, is a change that not only references the restaurant's Mediterranean heritage but also gives the space a more refined and calm feel.

Secondly, the restaurant's layout was altered to create as much open space as possible by eliminating any non-structural walls, in order to create a more fluid customer experience. The delimitation of space within the restaurant was thereafter achieved mainly through the use of wooden panels with a wireframe-like structure which, while separating two areas visually, still allow optical and sensory interaction with the rest of the restaurant.
