The venue pairs an extensive sushi and sake program with a refined space of dark wood, green marble, and warm ambient light, establishing itself as one of Ferrara's most distinctive dining destinations.

Project Background

Yun began in Ferrara in 1995 as one of the city's first Asian restaurants and grew into a beloved local institution. A comprehensive renovation reimagined the venue as a contemporary Japanese dining destination, oriented toward the river with a design language of deep wood, green marble, and crafted concrete finishes. Today the restaurant is known for its sushi, sake selection, and signature Italian-made stainless steel chopsticks.

Yun modern restaurant interior with river view — Green and gray upholstered booths with intricate wall art frame large windows overlooking the river and historic skyline.

The layout guides guests from the entrance through the dining room toward the riverfront glazing, with a lowered ceiling volume that conceals services while shaping the journey through the space.

Yun glass walls and staircase — Glass walls, dark wood accents, and a minimalist staircase connect the dining level while keeping the space open and light.
