The subject of the design is the interior of the new part of the Warszawa Wschodnia restaurant, which has been arranged in the adjacent segment of the building which formerly housed the Leto and Pictogram galleries.

A new food court was added to the restaurant, which itself was designed in 2012, as well as a bar with a small back room, and the service area. The whole new zone is accessible from the existing restaurant room; it also has a separate outside entrance.

The new hall, the largest, two-storey space with upper lighting retains the atmosphere of the old gallery, with such elements as concrete floors, white walls, and a skylight.

A new addition is light grey panelling with visible wood grain and a large oak sideboard, whose function is also to separate the service area. The interior is complemented by round mirrors and large scale plans in steel pots.


A bar has been designed in the area connecting the existing and the new room of the restaurant. In contrast to both rooms - brick and white walled - the bar was arranged in dark colours. There are black wooden panels on the walls, the ceiling pattern is defined by wooden coffers which continues in the design of the bar display wall. The bar contour is made of steel elements, and its decoration is of luminaires put together from parts of the original chandelier manufactured by Polam.
