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.

MARSALA - COLOUR OF THE YEAR 2015 by PANTONE

Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors.

The Versatility of Marsala

Equally appealing to men and women, Marsala is a stirring and flavorful shade for apparel and accessories, one that encourages color creativity and experimentation
Flattering against many skin tones, sultry and subtle Marsala is a great go-to color for beauty, providing enormous highlight for the cheek, and a captivating pop of color for nails, shadows lips and hair.
Dramatic and at the same time grounding, the rich and full-bodied red-brown Marsala brings color warmth into home interiors
An earthy shade with a bit of sophistication, texture is the story in print and packaging. A matte finish highlights Marsala’s organic nature while adding a sheen conveys a completely different message of glamour and luxury.

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.

PERSIAN COWHIDE RUG

The Persian cowhide is unlike any cowhide you have ever seen. It's from a very exotic breed of beast that lives in the fantasy world of designers Young & Battaglia. The piece is a playful and unexpected marriage between two of the most iconic rugs in the world. The meticulous and geometric Persian carpet is seamlessly combined with the natural irregularity of an animal skin rug. The design is made possible by digitally printing on to a special fabric backed rubber which is the hand cut in to its final hide shape. Unlike real cowhides this one is hypo-allergenic, washable, non-slip, and will not curl up at the edges. A fusion between art and utility, this rug will add a beautifully surreal touch to any interior.

STARBUCKS CONCEPT STORE - AMSTERDAM

On March 08, 2012 the launch of Starbuck’s concept store, “The Bank”, on the Rembrandtplein in Amsterdam. Starbuck’s is really stepping up their game with this concept and design, as they are probably attempting to compete with the local coffee shops catering to the more alternative and creative demographic. Starbucks concept design director, Dutch-born Liz Muller, jumps on the sustainable wagon as she taps into the reclaimed trend - walls are lined with antique Delft tiles, bicycle inner tubes, and wooden gingerbread molds; re-purposed Dutch oak was used to make benches, tables, and the undulating ceiling relief consisting of 1,876 pieces of individually sawn blocks. The design of this 4,500-square-foot space is the result of more than 35 local artists and craftsmen.
