MOJO RESTAURANT 2021

• Interior design project for a contest in Arcbazar

• 1er. prize

• Wisconsin. EE.UU.

Color palette

Following the client's requirements, the concept for the restaurant should look like an urban design for Latin Mexican-modern cuisine. To set out the idea, I mix industrial and contemporary styles with some fresh touch to create an interior that suits the design required.

The space for the restaurant has an open layout inside with very little natural light. Due to that, light colors for the walls are proposed in different textures and placed accents with rustic material such as concrete, wood, black matte iron, leather, and natural elements like plants and warm light to highlight the decor elements.

The shop is personalized with branding on the wall panel made with natural wood, pure forms for the furniture, and minor changes for the ceiling to highlight the areas. The wood presence gives a warm atmosphere contrasting with the room's natural light.

INNER SIDE 2017

• Interior design collection proposal for a tropical style

• Jinja, Uganda

Inner Side was born of two passions the nature of the materials and the spirit of creating.

Three primary materials are used in this furniture collection: wood, iron, and concrete; they give spaces harmony according to their natural characteristics. The contrasts of rustic materials and pure forms can create a cozy environment with a sober personality and industrial style.

The concept represents a tropical house that keeps the interaction of raw materials with plants in the room with unusual design and freestyle.
