Suké is the first Ukrainian restaurant in the izakaya format based in Odesa. It combines the kitchen and the atmosphere of a modern European bistro. The stylistics of Suké successfully mix minimalistic and vintage elements. But, despite the laconism, the main goal of the place is to bring everyone the utmost pleasure.
We used this approach in the design concept: modest but charming elements in the wabi-sabi style and elements of Japanese erotic culture. The link to Japan can be seen in details, but not in the expected authentic symbols.
One of such symbols is an octopus: it's shown in traditional but provocative scenes. Octopus represents not only a favourite Japanese seafood dish ingredient, but it appears as a symbol of pleasure as well.
