AT THE SAME TIME, CONTEMPORARY BUT RESPECTING HISTORY AND CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF THE PLACE. a space that could also connect with a new clientele, more dynamic and international, and with

new generations; but without disappointing the expectations and affection of the ‘historic’ clients who have always frequented it. _BEFORE CONSIDERING THE STYLISTIC AND TECHNICAL ASPECTS’_

– SAYS GIORGIO DI BERNARDO, VISUAL DISPLAY CEO – _‘THE PROJECT STARTED BY ANALYZING WITH THE CUSTOMER THE DYNAMICS, FLOWS, AND NEEDS OF THE RESTAURANT. we individuated and preserved those

gestures that over the years have become rituals and safety both for those who work there and for guests. investigating and creating new opportunities, evolving and improving existing ones.

_ _so the design work has begun with designing the experience, working carefully on flows and functions to guarantee the quality of work, service and stay. imagining restaurant life, setting

it as a project element, before starting to design the style, then shake altogether. this means designing the experience. and looking for a resonant result.’_ PROJECT INFO: PROJECT NAME:
