SMUG Burger Bar is a bold and eclectic interior concept that fuses industrial aesthetics with artistic irreverence. Designed as a social hub for a new creative generation, the space celebrates contrast — raw textures meet playful art, vintage furniture meets modern irony, and classical forms are reinterpreted through color and light
The interior plays on the dialogue between street art and sophistication: exposed brick walls, blackened steel beams, and copper air ducts are softened by moss panels, warm lighting, and handcrafted details. The centerpiece of the design — a humorous sculptural installation inspired by Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam”, where a reimagined Zeus figure offers not life, but a burger — instantly defines the bar’s signature attitude: bold, witty, and unapologetically urban
Custom wood tables, vintage cabinets, and colorful painted busts add a nostalgic, almost domestic touch to the industrial envelope, while playful neon typography and oversized “KITCHEN” marquee lighting bring energy and rhythm to the spatial composition
This mix of street, art, and soul transforms SMUG from a simple burger joint into an immersive experience - a place where good food, design, and humor collide
