I PICARI RISTORANTE
INTIMATE AND ELEGANT FOOD EXPERIENCE
THE OWNERS OF I PICARI, ONCE CONFIGURED AS BAR-RESTAURANT, REACHED OUT TO US TO GIVE THEIR PLACE A NEW IDENTITY. THE ONCE CAFETERIA, LOCATED IN THE HEART OF MODENA, HAS NOW BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO “I PICARI RISTORANTE” AND IS EXCLUSIVELY A CATERING SITE. AT THE SAME TIME, OWNERSHIP DECIDED TO OPEN A SECOND FACILITY, “I PICARI CAFFETTERIA”, WHICH IS A TRADITIONAL CAFÉ BUT WITH A NEW FLAIR.
FOR “I PICARI RISTORANTE” WE STARTED FROM A TREND RESEARCH AIMED TO TRANSFORM IT INTO A MORE INTIMATE AND ELEGANT FACILITY THAN BEFORE. IN AGREEMENT WITH THE OWNERS, WE MOVED FORWARD WITH RE-DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE ENTIRE FACILITY, IN ADDITION TO TAKING CARE OF SUPPLY.
EVERY LITTLE DETAIL HAS BEEN CONCEIVED TO CONVEY A SENSE OF TRANQUILITY AND RELIEF: THE CHOICES MADE EXPRESS THE DESIRE TO IMMERSE GUESTS IN AN ENVIRONMENT FULL OF PRECIOUS HARMONY. THE LARGE GLAZED WINDOW AT THE ENTRANCE FLOODS THE ENVIRONMENT WITH NATURAL LIGHT, WHILE DIFFERENT SOFT LIGHTS ARE POSITIONED THROUGHOUT THE ROOM, CONVEYING A SENSE OF COMFORT AND WARMTH. THE ENTRANCE FEATURES A ROUND TABLE AND OFFERS A PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE CENTRE OF MODENA, WITH GREATER INTIMACY TO BOOT. THE PERFECT CORNER FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS.
ON THE BASIS OF OUR TREND RESEARCH, WE DEFINED A MOODBOARD OF MATERIALS THAT CHARACTERIZE THE INTERIORS: SOLID CANALETTO WALNUT, BRIGHT BRASS LAMINATE AND ICE-GRAY RESIN, COMBINED WITH AN ANTHRACITE GRAY BACKGROUND. THE ENSEMBLE IS COMPLETED BY A VARIETY OF MIRROR AND SEMI-TRANSPARENT ELEMENTS. THE FEELING IS THAT OF A LUXURIOUS, ELEGANT YET SOBER ENVIRONMENT.
THE ANTHRACITE GRAY OF CEILING AND WALLS CONTRIBUTES TO GIVING THE ENVIRONMENT A SENSE OF GREATER INTIMACY, A “MUFFLED” FEELING OF SORTS, WHICH IS COUNTERVAILED BY THE WOODEN FLOOR. THE WALLS ARE ENHANCED BY SEVERAL STREET ART PAINTINGS THAT EMBELLISH BOTH THE MAIN ROOM AND THE PRIVATE ONE.
OUR STUDIO ALSO DESIGNED AND REALIZED SOME FURNISHINGS. FOR THE COUNTER MADE OF BRUSHED BRASS COATED SLATS WE OPTED FOR THE SAME ELEGANT TONES OF THE RESTAURANT. THE BACK IS COMPOSED OF A WALL WITH SHELVES AND SUPPORT TOPS, ENHANCED BY SOME LED BARS. WE ALSO REALIZED THE PANEL WITH BOTTLE HOLDER RECESSES, IN WHICH WINES ARE ORDERLY DISPLAYED UNDER THE SPOTLIGHTS POSITIONED IN DIFFERENT POINTS. THE PROJECT HAS NOT ONLY CHANGED THE AESTHETIC APPEARANCE OF THE RESTAURANT, BUT ALSO ENHANCED THE FOOD EXPERIENCE OF CUSTOMERS. SOFT ATMOSPHERES, PRECIOUS DETAILS AND TRADITIONAL CUISINE DISHES REVISED IN A CONTEMPORARY KEY: AN ENVIRONMENT DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO WANT TO ENJOY A MORE INTIMATE AND ELEGANT SPACE, TO SHARE WITH FELLOW DINERS. THE AESTHETIC-COMPOSITIVE BALANCE OF THE ROOM HAS BEEN ENHANCED BY THE HOME STYLING SERVICE PROVIDED BY VALENTINA MARTINO AND THE SUPPORT OF THE SHOP “LA CASALINGA” IN CARPI.
