About the work
A 1960s family-restaurant concept developed with Yara Hitti for an LAU art-direction course. The unbuilt design takes shape through a period palette, interior collages and prop selections.

Process
Working from the period brief
The low-budget restaurant brief sets the scale of the proposal. Colour and furniture references establish a 1960s setting through yellow, blue-green and warm accents, patterned surfaces and mixed materials.
Process
Building the room in layers
Successive collages introduce the walls, door, window and floor before adding lighting, furniture and props. Plain and annotated versions show both the overall composition and its individual elements.
Process
The table and surrounding objects
Mismatched coloured chairs, a blue table, patterned plates and coloured cutlery carry the palette into everyday use. A telephone, radio, vases and pendant lights add smaller points of character.
Process
Extending the concept
A separate restroom collage tests the same approach with green and pale floor tiles, pink fixtures and a round mirror. It completes the proposal’s treatment of the restaurant’s different spaces.
