Entry Description

The design for this Brazilian Bar and Restaurant borrows from the Favela: shanty towns that have grown around cities in Brazil, where vivid colours and graffiti adorn the raw concrete, steel sheet, timber boarding and block structures.
Surfaces in Djapa draw from this palette of rough finishes either as the original concrete or using recycled materials, either unfinished or with applied graffiti. Japanese art, principally from the anime genre, hangs on either bare or graffiti daubed walls. Sculptural pieces occupy prominent locations on both floors with other cultural references strewn about.
