Interior | Forli, Italy
A sushi restaurant concept focused on street-corner visibility and flexible seating combinations, suited to high-turnover dining.
“Design is not about filling space, but about leaving perceptible clarity between function, circulation and atmosphere.”
The Forli scheme treats street-corner legibility as its main external condition. A clearer entrance, quickly reconfigurable seating and highly visible interfaces make the restaurant better suited to frequent flows of guests.
Inside, a restrained material language keeps function and order in front, allowing the room to balance efficiency with a sense of pause.
02 / Technical Facts
This interior project in Forli, Italy focuses on the relationship between arrival, service flow and the main stay areas.
Low-saturation material, continuous surfaces and maintainable construction details establish a stable commercial base.
Lighting is treated as a structural tool for circulation and atmosphere, avoiding decoration while strengthening the sense of stay.

In the corner window, three glowing spiral metal ribbons coil around circular booth islands — passers-by recognise the place through the glass before reading a sign. The installation is the storefront.
The material set is black marble flooring, honeycomb timber wall panels and perforated metal mesh. Light works on three layers: backlit hexagonal walls, stacked ring chandeliers pressed low over each booth, and LED edges tracing the screens, concentrating brightness onto the tabletops.
The round booths sit as free-standing islands while loose tables pair and split quickly, supporting fast turnover. The spiral screens draw a semi-private boundary without blocking sightlines, and the window row works as a permanently lit advertisement to the street.
