People of Greece Food & Drink Architecture The Black Pearl Plate Experiment
Research People of Greece Greek people are recognized for their friendliness and kindness to strangers. Greece is still one of the few places where you may be invited into a local’s home as a guest, or they may wish to take you out and treat you to a banquet. Greece has proven to be a hospitable and wholesome place that lends itself nicely to a restaurant.

Final Branding Envelope & Business Card We wanted to be distinct in our design, we went with a sleek vertical design for the business card and a side flap for our envelope. Our letterhead and envelopes are printed on a 100% post-consumer waste, FSC Certified paper and we also use zero-VOC inks. (The Forest Stewardship Council label ensures that the forest products used for their paper are from responsibly harvested and verified sources). 33

Interior Design Terrace Model If you’d like some summer ambiance, the front terrace is ideal for you. Every table in the restaurant gets a number of free plates to smash into a million pieces in a designated area on the terrace. The fragments are collected every night and used to make wind chimes in the retail space. People are always welcome to join the workshop and make their own wind chimes before or after dinner. This platethrowing spectacle will be easily noticeable from the sidewalk when you pass by the restaurant.
