The burger joint is situated in a mid-1950s residential building in the historic center of Belgrade, Serbia, featuring large windows that overlook a busy street and a park. The aesthetic concept of the space reflects two key aspects: the atmosphere of contemporary Belgrade street culture and the color palette derived from the client's brand book.

From Sightunseen.com: “Three years ago, Korean graphic designer Dongyoung Lee and Dutch artist Michiel Hilbrink moved to a “woon/werkatelier,” a living and working studio for artists in Amsterdam — not originally built to live and work in — and became greatly inspired by their undefined situation. Their new collaboration, Things of Morel, developed at the intersection of interior decoration, object design and sculpture, and the latest collection, called Sun Fluid, stems from their own experiments with raw materials — raw felted and boiled wool for the center designs and frames made from pine. The strong felted forms, with bonus acoustic qualities, are comprised of large, wavy-edged forms in rich grays, r... More

The project was about creating a dark shady space with diffused light on raw materials and being implemented exclusively by custom design. Scope was to blend the “mysterious orient” with the contemporary Athenian streetscape. The layout is organized as an alleylike space: the bar creates a linear axis to connect the two entrances. The interior is conceived as a quiet room with fine sand walls, glazed ceramic tiles and engraved surfaces of raw oak wood, blended with the original, repaired terrazzo flooring. We reworked with a few forgotten techniques and materials, – the steel hammered panels from Thrace, nothern Greece and the karagatsi wooden stools, a sturdy wood used in traditional shipping. All materials have been cra... More
