Riso Bar is a place designed for culinary pleasure and aesthetic experience. It focuses on seafood and Mediterranean cuisine with a distinct Italian touch, complemented by a strong emphasis on the bar offering beautifully crafted cocktails, wine and frizzante. It is a stylish venue perfect for dates or evenings with loved ones, full of flavor, atmosphere and detail. The entire concept, including visual identity and interior design, was developed as a cohesive whole.
The new location of Riso Bar is just around the corner from the original, much smaller venue. The main visual accent is a deep dark red, inspired by the new visual identity created in collaboration with Hart Studio. Warm wood tones and a boldly patterned floor tie the space together, creating a harmonious and sensual atmosphere.
One of the key features of the project is the visual identity. In collaboration with Hart Studio, a complete graphic design was developed, including the logo, menu and branded tableware. Riso Bar is an example of a space where every element has been carefully considered and designed to align with the overall concept.
The centerpiece of the interior is the bar, which is long and visible from the street. Unlike the previous location, the bar here plays a central role. Guests can sit on both sides of it, right next to the bartender’s station. Tall illuminated shelves filled with bottles and suspended glass racks form the visual and functional heart of the space.
The walls feature artwork inspired by 17th-century paintings of women with oysters. These figures historically represented themes of desire and sensuality, often avoided in direct conversation. Oysters, known as aphrodisiacs, make this a fitting visual element. It also subtly references the history of Wrocław, where oysters were likely delivered in barrels and unloaded from ships as early as the 1600s.
Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood. Warm spotlighting combined with red LED accents helps create an intimate atmosphere designed to elevate the sensory experience of enjoying seafood dishes. This carefully curated lighting enhances the emotional and culinary depth of the space, making Riso Bar a truly immersive and memorable destination.
