— Idea
Cinematic Asia in the heart of the city
Sing Sing is a new concept by Marcin Wachowicz — the owner of iconic Warsaw restaurants such as Aioli, Momu, Banjaluka, and MazalTov. The interior design was conceived as a fusion of Asian street aesthetics, cinematic pop culture, and contemporary urban style. Our goal was to create a space that immerses guests in a world of contrasts — from raw industrial materials to vibrant neon lights and posters inspired by the films of Bruce Lee and Akira Kurosawa. The result is an environment that blends the chaotic energy of Asian streets with cinematic storytelling and a touch of nostalgia.
— Process
From concept to experience
Together with the owners, we developed an interior concept in which each zone tells a different story. The two-story space allowed for a clear distinction of functions and moods — from the open, lively ground floor to a more intimate area on the mezzanine. The centerpiece of the design is the bar, positioned opposite the entrance. It serves as the heart of the restaurant — a monumental structure with tall shelves reaching the ceiling, seamlessly flowing into steel elements on the upper level. The inspiration came from the aesthetics of Shanghai’s forbidden venues at the end of the colonial era, with their sensual elegance and subtle decadence.

A play of light, structure, and symbols
Each part of the restaurant has its own distinct character. To the right of the entrance, there is a communal table — a tall counter surrounded by suspended cherry branches, creating a poetic contrast to the raw materials. Behind a lattice partition at the back of the space, we hid soft booths with upholstered seating, above which hang film posters and neon lights inspired by Asian fairy tales and street culture. The walls are adorned with custom-made graphics, which also appear in the entrance area and restrooms, completing the design and building a cohesive, recognizable identity for the venue.
— Hospitality
Energy that connects
In the Sing Sing project, we focused on hospitality understood as an experience, not just aesthetics. The interior is meant to draw people in, surprise them, and encourage interaction — both with the space and with others. The open layout, communal table, and centrally placed bar foster meetings and the exchange of energy. Every element — from lighting to seating arrangements — was designed to create an atmosphere of ease and intimacy, reminiscent of Asian street eateries. Sing Sing is a space where design doesn’t dominate the guest but subtly guides them, becoming a backdrop for conversations, flavors, and sounds. It is in this balance between form and emotion that true hospitality is born.
