RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The design is based on CIAK All Day Italian business philosophy. It hopes to present a mood and an attitude to life to their guests. To restore an Italian countryside culture, tell Dolce Vita - sweet life philosophy, and restore a mood of the 30s - 40s classic Italian movies. We research mainly on the internet.
CHALLENGE: Italian - Dolce Vita - sweet life, is a relatively abstract feeling. It is an attitude to life and guides us how to enjoy life. What we expect after a day’s hard work is nothing more than enjoying a meal at a leisurely and comfortable restaurant. This is also what we wish to offer to our family.
