DESIGN NAME: FoodX Poznan
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Restaurant
INSPIRATION: The place was created in a very street style and with colours straight from the 1980s and 1990s, coming directly from the colourful clips of the pop-music television, when it actually was playing music.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The combination of good street art and iconic videos from the 90s is the clou of the latest project for FoodX. We love Investors, who come to us with crazy ideas, an open mindset and a fantastic brief - FoodX team belongs in that category, their food - real Street Art on a plate.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Currently, FoodX restaurants operate not only in Warsaw, but also in Krakow, Poznan and Wroclaw. Each of them, apart from the flagship restaurant in Warsaw, is run by different franchisees, independent entrepreneurs who are developing their businesses in the aforementioned cities with great success.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Poznan, Poland
The project lasted a total of five months.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The interior is dominated by a gradient of pastel colours running through the walls and furniture. It was proposed a chameleon-type foil on the external windows, introducing even more customers into this colourful space, taking them into the crazy world of the 90s.
Drawing on the style of those years, we decided to use a glass brick, which was extremely popular at the time. They were used to create a bar and as a fnishing element on some of the walls.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 80 square meters

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Immerse yourself in a 90s nostalgia trip at FoodX, where street art and iconic 90s videos blend seamlessly. This project showcases the power of collaboration with open-minded investors who dared to dream. The restaurant's vibrant, graffiti-filled "street" style and pastel gradients invoke the spirit of the 90s, while glass bricks and street mirrors add a unique touch. Every piece of custom-designed furniture complements the overall aesthetic. FoodX serves not just food but a journey back in time.
CHALLENGE: Designing FoodX was a creative challenge that took us straight to the heart of the 90s. Our task was to combine street art with iconic 90s videos in a restaurant setting. We aimed to bring the vibrant energy of that era to life. Key challenges included creating a cohesive visual language using pastel gradients, glass bricks, and street mirrors. Every piece of custom furniture had to match the unique atmosphere. The project's success hinged on capturing the essence of the 90s while delivering a delightful dining experience.
