Visual identity for Yorgaki, designed by Yorgo Tloupas, Paris

Yorgo Tloupas – co-founder of Paris-based design studio Yorgo-Co – has opened what’s being billed as the city’s first traditional Greek café. The multidisciplinary creator has had a hand in everything, from the graphic identity, to the menu, to the design of the space.

On a mission to squeeze as much street light as possible into the L-shaped space, the ground floor former school was completely gutted. A long strip of LED light directs visitors through a narrow 105 square metres, past CEO Tloupas’ office, and around custom furniture built in Athens by traditional seat-makers.

为了把尽可能多的路灯挤进L形空间，一楼的旧学校被彻底摧毁了。一条长长的LED灯指引游客穿过狭小的105平方米，穿过首席执行官特鲁帕斯的办公室，以及传统座椅制造商在雅典建造的定制家具。

The napkins are a nod to traditional greek restaurant paper tablecloths, which often display a map of the island you’re on, drawn in thick blue lines. ‘I drew Paris instead, with each Arrondissement given a tongue-in-cheek nickname,’ Tloupas explains. ‘For example, 16th is Parents Riches, 17th is Enfants Riches.’

这些餐巾纸是对传统的希腊餐馆用纸桌布的一种认可，这种桌布通常会显示你所在岛屿的地图，用厚厚的蓝线绘制。特鲁帕斯解释道：“我画的是巴黎，每一区都有一个含蓄的绰号。”例如，第16位是父母财富，第17位是富有的孩子。

Alongside the bubbling Ibrik coffee, which is brewed in copper pots over hot sand, authentic Greek delicacies are the order of the day. Enjoy rustic flavours served with delightfully little finesse: Tzatziki, Melitzanosalata, Taramasalata, Greek Choriatiki salad (based on tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, black olives, and spices), marinated anchovies and Kalamata olives. Even the WiFi code is ‘FetaLife’ – a play on words of the French saying fais ta life, which was suggested to Tloupas by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur. §

除了在热沙里用铜锅酿造的鼓泡糖咖啡之外，正宗的希腊美食也是当天的订单。享受乡村风味，有令人愉快的小技巧：TZatziki、MelitzanSalata、Taramasalata、希腊绒毛膜沙拉（基于西红柿、黄瓜、红洋葱、黑橄榄和香料）、腌渍凤尾鱼和卡拉马塔橄榄。甚至连wifi的代码都是“fetalife”（fetalife），它是指法国设计师MathieuLehanneur推荐给Tloupas的一句话。?
