The day/night live show cooking concept of Pasta Zen restaurant is aimed to today’s business people who need quick, good quality, healthy food in a welcoming atmosphere where they can meet friends, family and business associates. This restaurant in the city centre soon became known for its warmth, commitment for good food and contemporary setting.
The entry space suggests the idea of adaptation, with the atmosphere changing from daytime to night-time as light levels vary. Adaptation is also reflected in the use of materials such as oiled wood and rough stone walls, the somewhat brazen simplicity of which enables customers quickly to feel at home in the place, as though it were part of them. The architects also used interior details, greenery and various kitchen utensil to give the place a homely feel.
Everything in the interior is tactile and selected with great skill. This concept has provided Sarajevo with something new. The owner’s intention was that it should become unique as that launching a chain of such restaurant would be the inevitable consequence. The success of the interior and of the very concept of the restaurants is outcome of successful cooperation and market studies by the owner and the architect.
