About CIAK All Day Italian Restaurant
The design is inspired by and resonates Italian SWEET LIFE - Dolce Vita. The scene of the country house style windows and red-brick-like façade at the entrance constructs an atmosphere of a square in a small Italian town. Together with the parquet floor and greeneries, it ushers customers into an exotic Italian town to enjoy a lighthearted meal.

- Design 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.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Feb 2016 and finished in June 2016 in Hong Kong.
The Restaurant is located at Shop# 265, 2/F Cityplaza, 18 Taikoo Shing Road, Taikoo Shing, Hong Kong. - Operation Flow
- Near the entrance of the restaurant is a display of grocery products. This follows the old philosophy of Italian grocery where high quality products are open for customers’ selection.
On the back of the restaurant, an overhead projector is set to play videos of old movies on a screen from time to time. Sitting on the sofa, visitors can capture a feeling of watching movies in an old theatre and recollect memories of the dazzling Hollywood of the 30s and 40s. - Research
- 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.
