Located in one of the most iconic and historic buildings in the city of Varna, this multipurpose venue is designed to be home to a restaurant, music and performance stage, patisserie and an outdoor dining terrace. The Red Saloon is an integral part of the Sea Casino, currently going through a comprehensive restoration and preservation and to be opened at the beginning of 2018. As design principle for the Red Saloon, we aimed to rethink a recognizable graphic element, emblematic for the region. The so called "shevitza" is a geometric symbol taking various shapes and most often used to adorn women and men's traditional clothing. A technique similar to tapestry making, these stitched shapes usually carry information about the region they are from and the purpose of the clothing they are decorating. 

The restaurant of the Red Saloon is organized around a central stage, which during the day becomes a digital canvas responsible for setting the mood and the ambiance of the space. Directly behind the restaurant is an artisanal pastry shop and both spaces are connected through a stair to a large outdoor terrace with a view of the Varna bay.
