The restaurant needed to establish its own presence within a busy entertainment destination while remaining connected to the visual identity of sister venue El Luchador. The atmosphere had to work equally well for dining, drinks and late-night social use.
The interior draws on the colour, graphics and playful detailing associated with El Luchador, adapting them into a larger and more prominent venue. Saturated surfaces and bold visual moments create an immediate sense of energy, while the bar and dining areas are composed as one connected social environment.
The finished venue is vibrant, informal and deliberately extroverted. Food, cocktails, colour and music combine to make El Santo a focal point within Found 158 rather than simply another unit in the complex.
