Diosa

Diosa is an all-day café/bar located in Agios Georgios Square, in the vibrant heart of Kypseli, Athens. A space that transforms with the passing of the day, shaped by light and atmosphere. By day, soft natural tones highlight textures and materials, creating a calm, earthy ambiance. By night, the lighting deepens and intensifies, giving way to a more intimate, immersive setting.

This dual character of Diosa —a relaxed haven for coffee and conversation by day, and a lively bar for drinks and social gatherings by night— is at the core of the architectural approach by KARN studio.

The layout is defined by two structural columns framing a circular wall opening — a subtle yet distinctive architectural gesture that guides movement and sets the rhythm of the interior.

Strategically placed mirrored and silver-toned surfaces reflect light in varied ways, adding layers of shifting visual texture and movement throughout the space. On the façade, iridescent vinyls and the Diosa logo play with the viewer’s perspective and the changing light of day, echoing the project’s playful and contemporary spirit.

A tiled wall featuring a gradient of fading hues introduces a sense of continuity and flow, harmonizing with the lighting scheme and reflective elements to create a coherent and unified visual language.

Fluid, luminous, and ever-evolving, Diosa —as envisioned by KARN studio— offers a renewed spatial experience with every visit, inviting guests to rediscover it again and again.
