Designed by EL EQUIPO CREATIVO, Pakta means ´´union´´ in the Quechua language of Peru: a union of two cultures, union of two gastronomies. The interior design emerges from this same idea, considering that Japanese cuisine is the basis of the Nikkei gastronomy but wrapped in Peruvian tastes, colors, traditions, and ingredients.

The basic elements of the restaurant such as the bars, the kitchen, and the furniture are designed with a clear reference to the architecture of the traditional Japanese taverns. An explosion of colors evocative of Peru embraces the space like a second skin, achieved by the use of a direct reference to the Peruvian looms.

In the entrance, the sake and pisco bar acts as a filter between the interior and exterior of the venue. It is a three-dimensional framework which serves as a shelf, visual filter, and product display stand.
Presiding over the dining area is the sushi bar. Structurally speaking, it is completely antagonistic to the sake and pisco bar as it is composed of three heavy, luminous stone pieces.

Using three different types of transversal sections, together with some longitudinal pieces, the looms embrace the space creating a changing colorful rhythm.
