ABOUT THE PROJECT
MONO Café is a 24 m² commercial interior design and branding project in Heraklion, Crete.
Originally developed as a client commission, this portfolio edition explores an alternative creative direction, combining contemporary café design with a cohesive visual identity.
The concept features dark finishes, natural wood textures, tropical greenery, and warm accent lighting, complemented by custom counter design, storefront signage, and branded takeaway packaging.
The result is a unified design proposal where interior architecture and visual identity come together to create a distinctive café experience.
