Nerho Tattoo — Divisare cover
Since 1998 it has been the online Atlas dedicated to Italian Contemporary Architecture. Nerho Tattoo featured on the cover by Divisare.
Studio Didea created a new space for a tattoo studio: Nerho Tattoo, a minimal black-and-white project with a strongly graphic identity. The client's request was to have a workshop with a small adjoining gallery in which to exhibit and sell gadgets and small-format graphic works. The premises, located on the ground floor of a building, consisted of two interconnecting spaces; one of the rooms had a difference in level at the rear. The architects kept the interior partition, placing the waiting room in the left-hand space and the graphic workshop in the raised part, while the right-hand part, accessed from the waiting room, houses the workshop with the tattoo bed.
The choice of two colors (black and white) and of few materials (iron, wired glass and resin) strongly characterizes the project. The working spaces (graphic workshop and tattoo workshop) are tinged white while the entrance area is entirely black. A modular iron grid covers the right-hand wall of the entrance, continuing into the next room. In addition, a counter of iron and wired glass welcomes clients; the same materials characterize the glass partition separating the entrance from the graphic workshop. The floors are clad in white and black resin, depending on the function of the room they are in.
