Comic caper: Restaurant décor made fun

Thessaloniki – London-based architects studio Andy Martin & Associates has designed a pan-Asian restaurant and cocktail bar in Thessaloniki, Greece.

The Chan restaurant inside the Met Hotel is described as ‘a dynamic masculine space’. The seating creates a floating illusion and graphically lit wall panels in green and yellow provide contrast with the all black environment. Tattooed graphics cover the upholstery and the floor in the cocktail lounge features typical Asian comics and ‘Manga’ print cartoons.

‘We looked at the contrast that exists between traditional and contemporary Asian culture,’ says architect Andy Martin.
