Kacper Gronkiewicz has designed Le Braci in Warsaw, Poland.

This project is a green restaurant, not only by colour, but also by its sustainability. The existing French brasserie has turned with a new chef into an Italian restaurant where the owner asked the designers to adjust the interiors to it.

"We upcycled elements of old restaurant's interior such as chunky tin surface top of the drinks counter and all bar's cladding, sofas, tables and light fixtures." said designer Kacper Gronkiewicz. "They were reshaped using colour, recycled porcelain debris and vinyl fibres to match our concept which was a tribute to the plate. Plates expose food and our design puts plates [on] display."

The team focused on how they fade when colourful food appears. Shattered crockery, smashed china and a pinch of green are Le Braci's distinctive features.

This project has been longlisted in the restaurant and bar interiors category of Dezeen Awards 2022.
