This interior concept reflects the latest trends and embodies the core philosophy of an Italian bistro—naturalness, simplicity, and the uncompromising quality of its ingredients. The space is bright and minimalistic, bathed in natural sunlight, with a warm beige palette enveloping the soft, curved walls.

The emphasis on natural materials in the primary structures fosters a refined yet welcoming ambiance. The centerpiece of the space—a bar counter with a walnut veneer base and a unique granite top featuring polished slabs with raw edges—ties the design together. This bar also doubles as a seating area, accompanied by Italian console chairs from the late 1970s. A wall clad in walnut veneer conceals a functional zone behind it, including a restroom and a custom-made sink crafted from light travertine, designed specifically for this project. Granite tables shimmer under the sunlight, harmonizing perfectly with the bar counter and uniting the space into a cohesive whole
