Nourishing New Ideas: The Object Carpet Restaurant

All good things come in threes! However this is just about the only rule to which La Visione adheres. The restaurant is divided into three sections: a lounge, a dining area and a vinoteca. Only none of them really behave in the way you might expect. In the first space, a counter that is not actually a counter, as it brings the charm of the kitchen to the bar, effectively dissolving all divisions between guest and server. Not only the different roles have fluid boundaries, but also the different functions: this is a co-working space at lunchtime, an aperitif lounge in the evening and where the party starts when there is something to celebrate.

An atmospheric adventure of smells, sounds and tastes – not forgetting colours and fabrics – awaits you in the dining area. The aim here was to render Object Carpet’s furnishing expertise tangible – in a subtle yet palpable way. Thus textile wall collages of damask and hessian enter into tantalising dialogue with carpet and cord. At the same time, a window into the kitchen opens up a direct visual connection to the chef. Allowing the food to then speak for itself.
