The Italian Seafood Wine Bar
A high-level culinary experience with an Italian taste and style.
The Project
The Italian Club Seafood Wine Bar has been designed to complement Chef Stefano Balsamo’s high-level culinary experience, brining Italian taste and style to the heart of the Soho district, one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
The Way
Inspired by the Mediterranean
The design draws inspiration from the variety that characterizes the Mediterranean area, where different places come together in the same roots and where the action of the sea constantly changes the landscape. The color palette keeps this suggestion in mind, using oxidized copper as the main hue, juxtaposed with neutral tones of light grey, and petrol green for the wall coverings. The perforated metal façade at the entrance, with its masked “see-through” effect, gives the room an impression of intimacy. Leading to the dining room, the large fabric ceiling installation recalls the movement of waves, to make guests feel almost as if they were on the seashore. The armchairs and stools, with their harmonious and ergonomic shapes, have a metal frame with a brushed copper finish, as well as the Carrara marble tables and the decorative panels in the hall. In the bathroom, the impression is of being ‘underwater’: the soft lighting and the hammered metal on the ceiling emphasize the idea of immersion. The oxidized metal panels feature graphics, applied with a copper film, inspired by the movement of underwater currents. The Carrara marble countertop, the faucets and the metal accents – treated with a brushed copper finish – maintain the natural feeling of the restaurant’s design.
The Idea
A Mediterranean Experience
The Italian Seafood Bar allows customers to immerse themselves themselves in the Mediterranean experience, thanks to its biophilic design that connects the environment with nature, without sacrificing elegance and comfort.
