atonae was born as an idea when atoboy and atomix were both just ideas, too. It remained a dormant idea in the process of establishing both restaurants, but resurfaced as a creative outlet during the unexpected hiatus of restaurants onset by covid-19. Through its projects and products, atonae hopes to provide positive, creative energy for not only our creators & partners, but also for our consumers.
