CASE STUDY
dining environment: Jazz side chairs, with and without armrests, alternate around Blume tables by Sebastian Herkner, ensuring visual continuity throughout the different spaces.
Jazz side chairs offer extensive possibilities for customisation through refined colour combinations between the steel frame and the fabric upholstery, creating contrasts that complement the interior palette and enhance the identity of the setting. Blume tables, meanwhile, echo the fine lines of the family, whose distinctive force emerges from the column in extruded aluminium with a sophisticated flower-shaped profile featuring along its entire height, for a unique style. At the centre of the restaurant, a convivial counter is complemented by Nolita barstools designed by Mandelli Pagliarulo, encouraging interaction and sharing while reinforcing the informal and welcoming character of the space. Nolita barstools recall the origins of a historic course started by Mario Pedrali in 1963 with his first metal garden chairs and are characterised by their lightweight steel tube frame.
Outside, the garden reinforces the dialogue between architecture and landscape through a setting that prioritises stylistic continuity and comfort. Here, the dining area is once again furnished with Elliot tables by Patrick Jouin, paired with Tribeca side chairs and armchairs by Mandelli Pagliarulo, both selected in a pink finish. At the heart of the garden lies a lounge area designed for moments of relaxation and conviviality, where lounge armchairs and small sofas from the same collection take centre stage. Completing the setting are Caementum coffee tables by Marco Merendi and Diego Vencato, made of concrete, alongside Circuit coffee tables. Thanks to their strong material presence, Caementum coffee tables establish a natural connection with the project’ s architecture. These monobloc tables feature a central base and are made entirely of concrete with the addition of carefully selected additives that make the highly resistant material guarantee excellent technical performance, including ease of cleaning, greater resistance to mechanical stresses and weathering, and low permeability to liquids and stains. Circuit coffee tables, on the other hand, are lightweight and versatile, featuring a continuous steel rod frame in which the section resting on the floor and the one supporting the tabletop are defined by a soft, fluid curve.
Hidden behind a sequence of doors at the far end of the complex, the Ori bar occupies an existing L-shaped structure reimagined through the addition of a new curved envelope, independent from the original architecture, which embraces the space and completely reshapes its perception. This element extends along the entire length of the venue in the form of a vaulted ceiling defined by a sequence of ribs in a deep olive-green shade, creating an immersive and intimate atmosphere. At the junction between the two volumes, a sculptural column marks the transition between contrasting geometries, whilst a palette of sage green, marble, terracotta and orange lends the bar a distinctive and refined identity. Taking centre stage here is Stiel collection by Sebastian Herkner. Chairs and barstools, selected with green upholstery contrasted by orange frames, interpret the venue’ s colour palette and enhance its scenographic appeal. Elegance and sophistication, inspired Stiel, a seating collection featured by soft and rounded shapes in polyurethane foam on a curved round steel tube frame. Blume tables by Sebastian Herkner also furnish the space in different configurations, with either monochrome tops coordinated with the base or white Palazzo composite marble tops.
Cosy alcoves dedicated to conversation and relaxation are furnished with Buddy poufs and lounge chairs by Busetti Garuti Redaelli, distinguished by the contrast between the bold volumes of the polyurethane foam seat and the lightness of the aluminium legs.
