Thomas Klein International (TKI) has been commissioned to design the new interiors image for Zayt Zaytoon, a restaurant chain based in Manama, Bahrain.
The chain currently has three restaurants located in Manama, and TKI have been appointed to create a new look and feel for all the new restaurants which are due to open later this year. The three existing restaurants will later be converted to comply with the new design guidelines.
"We spent enormous amounts of time analysing the Zayt Zaytoon brand to create a fresh new image that reflects the brand values - freshness of products, quality, transparency in the production methods and most importantly, tradition," said TKI principal and managing director Daniel During.
He continued: "Certain elements of the previous design have been included to keep a subliminal link in the current clients’ minds, however, the new design focuses more on the roots of the brands than in its existing format.
"The existing design employs cartoons of the cultivation of the olive trees and the production of the olive oil, but with the new look we decided to go back into the roots directly and avoid the cartoonish approach that has been already widely utilised by other brands."

The main walls will now have an enlarged image of an olive tree as a full wall covering. Original granite stone disks that were used for the pressing of the olives have been imported, and are featured on the wall between the olive trees print . Olive wood veneer is then used as table tops.
The colour scheme is olive oil and the material palette is composed of raw materials such as concrete floors, olive trees slabs and granite stone. An installation of hand blown-glass in tones of green hovers above the central tables and serves as a light feature.
Owned by SunCity Ventures WLL, Zayt Zaytoon has been serving traditional Lebanese specialities for over 10 years. It currently operates three full-service restaurants in Bahrain Exhibition Road, Budaiya highway, and near the BDF. It also provides catering services.
