THE ROASTROOM - AMSTERDAM

It all began more than 15 years ago when Michiel Deenik opened his first restaurant, Visaandeschelde, located in the Scheldeplein.  During these years, Visaandeschelde has become a household name in Amsterdam by offering the best seafood dishes and hospitable service in a bustling environment. In 2010, there was talk of introducing a new restaurant at the RAI Amtrium. The first restaurateur to come to mind was Michiel. Fast-forward to the present, THE ROAST ROOM has opened its doors!

THE ROAST ROOM occupies the ground floor and the first floor. On entering the restaurant, you will find yourself in THE ROAST BAR. The ROTISSERIE is located upstairs.

THE ROAST BAR is a brasserie style restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. From here you have a clear view of the heart of the establishment – the butchery.

The ROTISSERIE is the fine dining restaurant that is open for lunch and dinner. Inside you  see the magnificent open kitchen with its Australian Beech ovens, the broiler, the charcoal grill and the rotisserie, with a handmade tile wall by the Harlinger Tile Factory as a backdrop.

DESIGN

At THE ROAST ROOM, everything is about art: from the dishes being served to the interior with all its elements. The restaurant is designed by Studio Modijefsky and Studio Molen, who made it into a beautiful coherent place on every level: from the furniture, the bars and the butchery to the special lighting and the smallest bronze details. The two floors are connected by Ginger Blimp, one of Studio Molen's flagship lighting sculptures. The craftsmanship as well as the hospitality and open character of THE ROAST ROOM is represented in the interior, which has come into existence with great dedication.

“This presents me with an incredible opportunity to establish a new concept within walking distance of my current restaurant. At Visaandeschelde I can express my passion for seafood. At THE ROAST ROOM, I want to give free rein to my culinary aspirations with respect to meat. THE ROAST ROOM will be open every day and our guests will be able to expect the same quality and charm they have come to enjoy at Visaandeschelde.”

RESTAURANT CARLO E CAMILLA - MILANO

set within a historical sawmill, the restaurant and cocktail bar carlo e camilla in segheria, milan is established by celebrity chef carlo cracco and art direction given by tanja solci. the existing character of the building has been left majority untouched, the brick walls and the aged concrete walls have been left exposed, altogether adding to the overall industrial feel to the interior. intimacy and sharing is the main concept  highlighted by elements such as the use of two intercepting, communal tables placed at the center so diners can be aware of all aspects during their dining experience.
the building, segheria milano, is owned by tanja solci and in 1999, together with her father, they restored the factory from its previous post-war state for this restaurant. with solci for art direction, behind-the-scenes is led by carlo cracco and his team, cooking up cuisine that reinterprets traditional italian recipes with a contemporary twist.fusing italian culture into the choice of decor and tableware, a story is told through the setting. the industrial feel is refined by suspended vintage chandeliers, and during the evenings, dramatically light the space by casting shadows onto the table surfaces, creating an enchanting atmosphere. nicola fanti, the third partner of carlo e camilla, takes care of the management and ensures that the atmosphere and tanja’s design project is unique every evening.

HUESO RESTAURANT - MEXICO

Located in the beautiful Lafayette Design District in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico is the home and studio of Diaz Morales. The extraordinary modernist architecture setting from the 1940s in the beautiful Lafayette Design District in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico serves as the perfect backdrop for Alfonso Cadena’s new concept restaurant “Hueso”. The restaurant name originates from the Spanish word “Bone”. 

The design approach takes the title literally, integrating architectural details, graphics and a design approach which plays up the skeletal idea. The design approach for the building began with a creation of a double skin. The exterior of the building is covered in artisanal handmade ceramic tiles reminiscent of stitching and sewing patterns, protecting the inside layer which becomes more organic and full of texture. Inspired by the Darwinian vision and the name of the restaurant itself, the inside skin is covered with over 10,000 collected bones from animals and plants mounted on timber blocks. These were mixed with objects and cooking tools, all of which were assembled by urban visual artists.

The off-white colour palette and a collection of aluminium cast bones hang on the interior walls, while the exposed kitchen becomes a display for the guests – the bar is the only partition between the culinary artists and the main table.
