TAKO Aurelia is a sushi restaurant and cocktail bar, a few steps from the Vatican, that interprets the Memphis movement as a design language for a new concept of urban hospitality. The project reinterprets 1980s aesthetics with a contemporary sensibility, transforming color, light, and material into narrative tools.

The concept stems from the desire to redefine the sushi restaurant format, experimenting with unconventional materials, reflective surfaces, and lighting solutions integrated into the architecture. Geometric graphics, iconic patterns, and saturated colors create an immersive and highly distinctive environment, where the experience of space becomes central.

Spread across three levels and characterized by a strong connection with the city thanks to the large windows overlooking the street, TAKO Aurelia is conceived as a fluid and dynamic journey: from the dramatic reception to the main dining hall, all the way to the sushi bar, the restaurant’s productive and visual heart. A project that expresses a bold and informed vision of contemporary dining, capable of engaging and surprising its guests
