Capito Café: A Bridge Between Different Cultures

Located on the ground floor of an elegant residential building, Capito Café distinguishes itself through its original style and the sense of fluidity that permeates its 350 m2 spread across two levels. The open and bright layout enhances the spaciousness, creating an airy and dynamic environment—perfect for both a coffee break and longer meetings.
An outdoor terrace, ideal for enjoying the open air, completes the café with a relaxing corner.

The interior design draws inspiration from historic European restaurants, featuring classical-inspired decorations, vintage Viennese chairs, and fabrics that blend with contemporary and industrial elements such as exposed concrete columns and seamless flooring. Details like a vintage piano have become decorative focal points, enriching the visual narrative of the space, while paintings and drawings with Greek motifs help create an atmosphere that bridges past and present.

Capito’s design stands out for its balance between neutral tones and vivid colors. Warm beige provides the backdrop, enhanced by accents of orange, green, and deep red that add character to the space. Materials such as dark wood, textured decorative plaster, soft fabrics, and vintage-style elements are blended with contemporary details like painted walls and designer lighting, creating a cozy yet sophisticated environment.

Playing with shapes, colors, and textures, the café’s interiors express a playful and eclectic aesthetic. Walls adorned with canvases depicting birds and Greek deities, along with collections of plates and cups, add personality and depth to the space.
