K Studio, the architects behind Alemagou, a beautiful Mykonos beach bar that we featured earlier this year, have come up trumps again; this time with an equally refined pizzeria/trattoria in the centre of Athens.

With charmingly eclectic lighting, an assorted arrangement of chairs and Mediterranean hues thrown into the charismatic mix, local boys K Studio have delivered another fine example of effortless elegance…
