Bun Burgers, an Italian restaurant in Turin, has a swimming pool-inspired interior esthetic designed by Masquespacio, a Spanish creative firm. The interior design is separated into three distinct color-coded areas. The green zone houses the kitchen and ordering counter, sitting in the back corner of the restaurant. The blue zone hosts an open concept tiered seating space, dominated by a long communal table. The pink zone contains a more intimate eating area with well-lit walk-in booths.
The interior design of Bun Burgers uses materials and techniques that are characteristic of swimming pools. The liberal deployment of ceramics and terrazzo alongside the porthole-style lights and pool ladders define the burger joint's unique esthetic. The matte pastel color scheme offers the space a sense of light-hearted fun, augmented by the novel seating options.
