Hamburgers of every variety are fast food favorites, including the popular smash versions popping up on menus everywhere. For the PLUTO brands first brick-and-mortar restaurant, architects at Znamy Si looked to the signature patties for inspiration. The entire design draws from the philosophy of smash burgers simple tools, strong effect, says Wojciech Nowak, co-founder of Znamy Si. We wanted the interior to emphasize richness through minimal means.Located in Wrocaw, Poland, the busy lunch spot is seemingly simple, but filled with the kind of elements that add character. An open grill sits at the heart of the space, framed by a raw metal structure reminiscent of a city food stand.The long bar and leather-topped stools, reminiscent of the furnishings in a traditional American diner, also double as a social zone where guests can eat their meals and watch the cooks at work in the open kitchen. A unique triple-layer countertop echoes the look of a perfectly composed burger.Lighting offers an ambient glow directed toward the ceiling, where the PLUTO logo floats inside a circular frame. Materials throughout are restrained, yet still have richness. Textured plaster covers the walls, while ceramic flooring brings a luxe touch underfoot. Wood and leather finishes complement retro-style polished accents. Irregular glass blocks provide just enough sheen. Undulating lines enliven every corner with a sense of natural fluidity.Colors like deep caramel brown and orange tones represent the flavors and heat synonymous with cooking, and are coupled with the soft baby blue tint of the brand to create a balanced, fresh palette.The combination of the contemporary design and classic fare are paired to delight customers. Our goal was to make the guest experience start even before the first bite, with an interior that feels warm, energetic, and authentic, like comfort food turned into space, Nowak notes.PLUTO x Znamy SiFor more information, visit znamysie.com.Photography by Migdal studio.
