Karate

Thessaloniki Opened 2025

A bar built around a plastic garden chair

Every Greek balcony has one: the plastic monobloc chair. Karate turns that cheap seat into the whole design concept, letting it dictate the room instead of hiding it.

Designer Foil worked with the building's odd angles rather than against them, so the space feels built around the chair, not decorated with it. Drinks stay simple, no fuss. The room's small, so Friday nights spill straight onto the street.
