Crafting Kimyona: A Journey Through Analog Photography and Culinary Art
KIMYONA - RIYADH
During my time at Flip International, I had the privilege of creating Kimyona, a concept deeply rooted in its owner's profound love for travel and photography. This wasn’t just about crafting a dining experience—it was about designing a visual journey, where every detail, big or small, told a compelling story.
A Concept Born from Passion
Inspired by the intricate art of analog photography, Kimyona’s narrative unfolded naturally. The darkroom-inspired interiors, conceptualized and beautifully executed by the talented team at Azaz Architects, became the cornerstone of its aesthetic. From the lighting to the spatial arrangements, every inch of the design echoes the mystery and allure of photography.
A Narrative Woven Into Every Detail
Kimyona’s branding extended beyond its interiors. The logo design and the presentation of every dish were carefully crafted to complement the overarching theme. Photography wasn’t just a decorative element; it was a fundamental part of the brand’s DNA. This commitment extended to social media photography guidelines, ensuring that every post exuded the same enigmatic charm as the restaurant itself.
Even the menu became a canvas for storytelling, with dish names, descriptions, and plating that invited guests to experience the wonder of exploration and creativity. The analog photography narrative was brought to life through textures, tones, and compositions that reflected the essence of a time when each photograph captured was a cherished moment.
Concept Creation: A Connection to Guests
Creating Kimyona was a testament to how concept development can transform personal passions into tangible experiences that resonate with guests. By intertwining the owner’s love for photography with an immersive dining journey, we created a brand that speaks to the heart.
Kimyona isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a story waiting to be discovered—one that lingers in the memory like a beautifully captured photograph.
