TRIA’s design team rebranded and revitalized an existing restaurant for the owner of Dryft in Wellesley’s Linden Square. The transformation elevates this pocket of real estate to a coveted dining destination.

Guests arrive at this Linden Street location greeted by a modern outdoor seating area and a new facade with newly lit signage. Once inside, the dining adventure begins with sophisticated materials and a wonderland of whimsy, evoking a refined and relaxed experience for this Italian-inspired menu. A hand-painted mural depicting a friendly octopus is the dining room’s focal point and mascot. Strategically, it is reflected in antiqued mirrors adorning the opposite wall. Elegant Tom Dixon chandeliers provide a warm glow and a nod to water droplets with their shiny, wavy orb shapes. Earthy tones in a seaside-inspired color palette combine with rich leather and wood for a contemporary, elegant ambiance.
