Teatro Cafe

The art of lighting in a restaurant-café in Nea Makri

Teatro Cafe

Teatro is a very pleasant venue in the Nea Makri area, where you can relax over a coffee or a meal.

The lighting design for the space was carried out by IFI GROUP, which specified luminaires from XAL, TRADDEL, ADVANCED FIBER OPTICS and VERSOI, as well as a flexible LED strip system (Flexible LED) of its own manufacture.

The company’s aim was to create an atmospheric environment that would stir visitors’ emotions in a pleasant way. This was achieved through a changing backdrop of colours, built up from various lighting systems that decorated the space and brought it to life.

The light emanating from the rock composition (top right photo) comes from IFI GROUP’s Flexible LED system.

The colour changes beneath the bar (bottom left photo) are produced by a linear RGB LED system from TRADDEL, as are the recessed spotlights in the floor.

The colour changes on the bottles behind the bar are produced by a linear RGB LED system from XAL, the optical fibres are from ADVANCED FIBER OPTICS, and the pendant luminaires are from VERSOI.
