The team took the sun as an inspiration when designing the restaurant, using a bright color scheme and unique furniture. The light-washed and voluminous space features radial lines, cool terracotta walls, circular motifs and [earthy rusted hues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-1), creating a Mediterranean-themed space to match the menu. The chef wanted to create an [immersive space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sid-lee-architecture) in which to serve his grandmother's recipes which were re-imagined to be more experiential for patrons.
