Kento
Valencia, Spain
80 m2
In search of a healthier lifestyle Valencian’s entrepreneur Eduardo Hijlkema started to investigate Japanese food. After witnessing the need to offer a high-quality sushi take away with a range of reasonable prices, he started to play with the idea to found Kento.
For the interior, Masquespacio got back to the age of traditional Oriental decoration in search of a strong unique identity that could highlight Kento on a highly competitive market.
Although the first restaurant focusses mainly on sushi, Masquespacio wanted to create an overall design that offers the possibility to add other types of Oriental food without being related totally to Japan.
A set of metallic elements, bricks and concrete show an urban and modern aspect, while through wood a touch of warmness is added to the design.
The used colors from their part, fusion a funny with serious appearance, adding an ironical joy. Although the past was interpreted, in every moment it has been the aim to create an avant-garde identity.
