Cavaliere Restaurant

Cavaliere Restaurant is an innovative Italian dining establishment located in Athens, Greece, distinguished by its sophisticated interior design that masterfully blends contemporary aesthetics with subtle art deco influences. Designed by Konstantinos Gkagkos and completed in November 2021, this 200-square-meter space represents a significant departure from traditional Italian restaurant design conventions, offering instead a fresh interpretation that emphasizes luxury and refinement. The restaurant's layout is thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones: an entrance with bar area, a main dining section, and an open-space kitchen, creating a harmonious flow throughout the space. The interior design scheme showcases a carefully curated selection of premium materials, including green marble surfaces, velvet upholstery, and striking golden metallic accents, all of which contribute to its sophisticated atmosphere. A particular emphasis has been placed on the lighting design, both internal and external, which strategically highlights architectural details and creates an evocative ambiance. The space features unique golden pizza ovens that serve as both functional elements and aesthetic focal points, connecting the contemporary design to traditional Italian culinary heritage. The restaurant's seating area demonstrates remarkable versatility, with the ability to transform into an open-air space, allowing patrons to enjoy al fresco dining in favorable weather conditions. This innovative project, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category in 2022, exemplifies a successful marriage of functionality and aesthetic sophistication, setting new standards in restaurant interior design through its multidimensional decorative approach and attention to detail.
