RIZZ RESTAURANT

It all started with a recommendation. Designers who were already familiar with my work introduced me to the client — and from the very first moments, it became clear: they weren't looking for just decoration. They wanted character.

I received a catalogue outlining the mission of the restaurant and the company behind it — a group of hotels and restaurants. I wasn't reading price lists; I was exploring the brand's philosophy. I wrote down the words that appeared again and again. I studied the colours they considered their own. That's how several concepts took shape — and one of them turned out to be exactly right.

And then the real work began.

The entrance installation was outdoors. The wood veneer used in furniture isn't designed to withstand the elements: rain, sunlight, and temperature fluctuations. I reinforced it and coated it with marine varnish — the same kind used to protect boat decks from saltwater and wind. I created the flowers with the climate in mind. On the outside, they looked delicate, almost weightless. Inside, they were strong and reinforced. Beauty built to withstand the elements.

The client was delighted. And once again, I was reminded that true design isn't about materials. It's about immersing yourself in a space and understanding the people you're creating it for.
