The restaurant is located on the ground floor of a heritage building with Art Deco influences on Calea Victoriei, recently restored. Our project takes over stylistic principles and design elements from the facade in a reinterpreted, adapted form to the new trends. The concept took shape once we found the future name of the restaurant - The S’aint. The presence of the apostrophe in the word 'Saint' generates a delicious irony that we used when thinking about the contrast between the diaphanous arrangement of the space and the activity carried out in it. We thought of it as a transformation of a sacred space into a profane one, as a conversion of a place of worship into a pub. On a base with a pale and gentle chromatics, we played with textures created by wall claddings or the metallic skeleton from which the retro bar is built, and then we introduced the chromatic accents of green through the use of plants and gold through the cladding of the brass bar, which can be found on many of the elements that make up the arrangement, starting with the spectacular portal at the entrance, which introduces the clients to the wonderful world of the saints.
