ATM – Atomic Burgers
Stone Designs’ Atomic Burgers in Gijón artfully melds futuristic motifs with 1950s nostalgia, creating an inspiring space that celebrates innovation and the legacy of the Atomic Age.
After World War II, the world lived under the shadow of the nuclear threat. But from that tension emerged a new vision of the future: science sparked an unstoppable movement that would go on to shape the culture, design, and architecture of the era. The Atomic Age was born—an optimistic, original, and deeply futuristic aesthetic, influenced both by nuclear energy and the dawn of the Space Age.
ATM brings back that emotional and visual universe, reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens. Geometric, stellar, and galactic motifs coexist with warm, flowing forms in a space that looks to the future with the elegant nostalgia of the 1950s. An interior design that pays tribute to a time when design embodied faith in technological progress and the transformative power of innovation.
The material palette embraces efficiency, naturalness, and expressiveness: walnut, terrazzo, Heraklith, and surfaces that engage in dialogue with the industrial textures and techniques of the time. The influence of new materials that emerged from wartime needs is reflected in lightweight, malleable elements that adapt to both body and space. More than just a burger joint, ATM is a place where science, design, and the dreams of the past continue to inspire the future.
