Bon Vivant invites visitors to linger and savor an interior design that captures the essence of a Mediterranean paradise. Located in the heart of Paphos, Cyprus, this café integrates a modern aesthetic with a deep reverence for its architectural and cultural environment. The café’s design is dominated by a contemporary color palette, brought to life through the use of Santamargherita’s Marble and Quartz. These materials serve as both an artistic medium and a practical element, reflecting coastal charm through shades of blue, grey, and gold. Together, they create a serene aura that anchors the space within its Mediterranean context.
Central to the design of the café is the bar, adorned with “ Palazzo Farnese” from Santamargherita’s SM Marble Palazzo Collection. The bar’s surface showcases the marble’s mottled pattern infusing the ambience with an ode to the historical architecture of the surrounding area. The patterns on “Palazzo Farnese” bring depth and character to the design, allowing the café to connect with the heritage it pays homage to. Below the marble countertop, SM Quartz “Metropolis Steel” introduces a complementary contrast with its grounding, industrial-inspired tones.
The café’s thoughtful use of Santamargherita materials extends to its seating arrangements, where tables clad in SM Quartz “Lyskamm” offer a neutral foundation. The crisp surface of “Lyskamm” provides a sophisticated support to the other design elements, from the warm color palette to the natural light that fills the space. By remaining understated, the material allows the surrounding features to take center stage and create a cohesive visual experience.
The deliberate selection of stone colors, varied in tonalities, connects with the Mediterranean environment while transcending clichés. Resonating with the local community, Bon Vivant applies a reinterpretation of its culture into a timeless and meaningful space.
Bon Vivant invites visitors to savor, and linger in a design that embodies the beauty of a Mediterranean paradise. By blending heritage and modernity through Santamargherita’s collections, the café becomes a functional and evocative setting that celebrates a lifestyle so deliciously infused with relaxation, playfulness, and enduring beauty.
