One of the most striking elements of this renovation is the new color palette. Previously dominated by oranges and dark browns, the restaurant now features deep, rich blues that pay homage to its Mediterranean roots. These colors are artfully contrasted with white and nude wooden tones, resulting in a serene and refined environment that enhances the dining experience for all guests.

The layout of the Mythos restaurant has also seen significant changes. By removing non-structural walls, the design maximizes open space, fostering a more fluid and enjoyable customer experience. To delineate different areas within the restaurant without sacrificing openness, wooden panels with a wireframe-like structure have been introduced. This innovative design allows for visual separation while maintaining a sense of connectivity throughout the space.

Material selection is key to the overall ambiance of the restaurant. The circulation areas are adorned with elegant ceramic tiles, leading guests to their seating arrangements. These tiles are complemented by soft wooden flooring that supports the tables, while the seating features rich velvet upholstery, adding both comfort and sophistication to the environment.

A standout feature of the Mythos restaurant transformation is the collaboration with local artists, resulting in a stunning mural. This artwork consists of individual white ceramic plates, each painted with unique designs, arranged to create a flowing centerpiece on one wall. This artistic touch not only beautifies the space but also pays tribute to the local creative community, making Mythos a truly unique dining destination in Craiova.
