This project by Studiounodesign is regarding an historical premises and is one of
the more “happening spots” of Pisa.
This wine bar, cafe’ and restaurant has been revised, repaired, reestablished and
restored with brilliance in a vintage style using lively colors and luminous paneling.
Original or replica furnishings complement the style while displaying flagrant tapestries
giving the space a certain allurment under every point of view, considering the fact
that the structure dates back to the early 1500s.
According to research of sixteenth century architectual structures, the Tuscan style
columns and intercrossing archways such as that of a basilica’s nave, would belong
to a building with an open gallery of arches that appears in a public square of Pontedera.
Such open galleries would have hosted the city market in the beginning of the 1500s.
The sixteenth century structures are currently visible and can all be reviewed correctly
from an architectual restoration point of view.
The space was constructed with the bar in the main area. The bar counter itself has
retro lighting in the foreground decorated with laminated embroidery to form optical
images. After the bar area is where the three other rooms start. They are pleasently
furnished keeping in mind the needs of the costomers.
From the front to the back of the Cafe’ the colors of the walls and wallpaper are
kept contant using different shades of white, while the frontal bar room is actually
an explosion of colors, tapestries and striking wall decoration
