Sesilya

Sesilya is rooted in the revival of a grandmother’s recipes — a place where nostalgia, family warmth, and tradition are reimagined as a contemporary hospitality experience.

The design brings together Georgia’s rich bread and wine culture with Scandinavian simplicity. Natural materials, warm minimalism, soft lighting, and thoughtfully interpreted Georgian details create an atmosphere that feels intimate, refined, and genuinely welcoming.

Drawing from Georgia’s ancient traditions of wheat cultivation and winemaking, the interior expresses this heritage through symbolic forms, natural textures, and earthy tones inspired by endemic Georgian wheat and native grape varieties. Throughout the restaurant, these cultural references are reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, creating a warm and layered dining experience centered on gathering and hospitality.

Inspired by Georgia’s 8,000-year-old winemaking heritage, this wall feature expresses the timeless connection between land, vine, harvest, and hospitality.

The full-height wine display forms the restaurant’s iconic focal point. Dedicated to Georgian wines, it becomes a defining expression of Sesilya’s identity and an integral part of the guest experience.

The artwork at the restaurant entrance is inspired by the dedabodzi — the central wooden pillar of a traditional Georgian home. Reinterpreted within the interior, it symbolizes family, gathering, the supra tradition, and Georgian hospitality.

A wall installation inspired by endemic Georgian wheat celebrates the country’s ancient bread culture, the harvest, and the warmth of the Georgian table.

The bull symbolizes land, labor, harvest, and abundance — a subtle reference to Georgia’s agrarian heritage and the deep-rooted traditions of its table.
