Tritalo — Small Cafe'+
TRITALO PUBLISHED IN THE VOLUME SMALL CAFE’+
The project stems from the transformation of a boutique and occupies a particularly compact space – 38 square meters arranged lengthwise – made special by the revealing, during demolition work, of two frescoed vaults from the end of the nineteenth century. Given the limited surface area and, conversely, the considerable height of the premises, a structure was inserted to contain all the services – the counter, the kitchen, as well as the private and public restrooms – without interfering with the vaulted ceilings, so as to make the most of the space and enhance its uniqueness.
Golden rose iron is at once the material and the hue of every detail of the project: it defines its geometry, clads the counter top and the additional symmetrical resting surface facing the shop window, and becomes a tubular footrest, as well as recurring in the spherical chandeliers and the bathroom handles; simple white iron stools serve as seating. To give the space a warm unity, iron with a golden rose finish was introduced, becoming an unmistakable design signature. This harmonizes with the gray floor and with the wood and white resin cladding.
The removal of a series of dropped ceilings layered over time made it possible to include in the project an unexpected and spectacular element such as the frescoes, which are now perfectly visible and characterize Tritalo. Article photos ©studiodidea
