The live vegetation has been chosen as the main idea of the interior of the restaurant. In view of the fact that plants reflect the concept of restaurant menu, the elements of greenery are predominant: live flower pots, several types of real moss compositions. A lively vegetation makes it possible to convey the values nurtured by the creators of a healthy food restaurant.
Within the common space a large black separate volume is incorporated which serves as an open bar accessing the semi-open kitchen through an opening. The black volume creates an intrigue and centers the attention on the important part of the restaurant – cooking process, which restaurant visitors can watch and enjoy.

To achieve the impression of unexpectedness, bulky decorative concrete pots are designed . Pots can be freely positioned in the space between the tables and composed in various ways. Large live plant pots fill the space, look like pillars and function as partitions between tables.
The main walls and pots are uniformly furnished with decorative concrete with imprinted wood decor. Finalized decorative idea fuses contrasting materials: concrete, metal, mirrored surfaces with oiled oak massif, oak parquet boards, soft sofa and chair fabrics and natural greenery.
