DESIGN NAME: Mr. Pizza
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Pizza and Restaurant
INSPIRATION: Telling the story of Dolce Vita, extravagant and vital, for modern romantics, is the desire of Alexander Kovachev and Studio Idea. The concept of luxury is transferred to a magical forest. The mystical world in Mr. Pizza is turned upside down. Fireflies and reflections are scattered all around.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design is twisted in a Rock & Roll way, in order to create an enchanting oasis, a gourmet for the senses. The turned upside down gardens create a magical effect and a sensation of a mythical space. Going back to nature is interpreted with the idea of splendor and lavishness. The poetic lighting follows the shape and form of the upside down gardens and trees emphasizing the feeling mysteriousness.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The restaurant is based in a shopping center in one of the highest density neighborhoods in Sofia, Bulgaria. This is the main factor considered before starting with the creative ideas for the space. There are three previous properties merged in order to create the open area flow in the main part of the restaurant.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was finished in January 2017, in Paradise Mall Sofia, and is currently still open to the public.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Interior Space and Exhibition Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The decorative vegetation hanging from the ceiling from a height of 10 meters, are the biggest production element in Mr. Pizza. It's structure is made of custom drawn and made metal construction with steel ropes molded to the ceiling.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 1000 square meters
TAGS: wonderland, upside-down, fairy tale, magical forest, show kitchen
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The main research direction is concerning the fact that the area is a public, social space situated in a shopping center. Another important and difficult part of the design is the high ceiling that works as a holding base for the hanging vegetation. The process starts with designing and engineering the structural frames, making several testings, and sourcing the custom envisioned and made vegetation for the whole space. The result is a mesmerizing fairy tale world, where the land is upside down
