The Approach
Big flavors, a big open kitchen, and a big open bar: Zou Zou’s called for vitality, vim, and vigor. Our sister studio AvroKO’s modern take on Levantine design—handmade geometric fixtures, vibrant enamel tables, and arched sconces—inspired us.
The Expression
The personable nature of the Zou Zou’s name led us to an evocative, accessible style that’s characterized by dynamic shapes, expressive type, and pops of statement color which, when combined, celebrates movement.
The Space
Dynamic geometric shapes that recall lightning bolts, flowers, crescents, and wedges have a visceral, handmade quality to them, calling to mind paper cut-outs. They’re rendered in bright colors—interlocking and overlapping in ways that create action and intrigue without chaos.
