Tomei restaurant
Lucca, Italy
b-arch designs an intimate and material-driven interior in Lucca, where red becomes a design language, transforming a small space into an experience of intimacy, identity, and contemporary conviviality.
The Florence-based studio b-arch, founded by Sabrina Bignami and Alessandro Capellaro, has been working for over twenty years at the intersection of architecture and interior design, with projects ranging from residential to hospitality, from restaurants to retail. The world of dining represents one of the most fertile territories of their design research: a place where atmospheres, materials, and identity intertwine to form a cohesive narrative. It is within this framework that the project for Giorgio Tomei Restaurant takes shape—a measured intervention that translates a personal dream into space and hospitality.
In the heart of Lucca, the new Giorgio Tomei Restaurant is first and foremost an act of trust and renewal. A couple decides to change their lives and invest in an essential, sincere restaurant project; b-arch accompanies this choice with a calibrated design approach, capable of transforming limited resources into a strong, recognizable identity, deeply connected to the story of the people who inhabit it.
The space, just over sixty square meters, is conceived as an intimate room dedicated to wine and conviviality. Deep red tones—warm, enveloping, vibrant—define the walls, wooden surfaces, and bespoke tables, creating an atmosphere that is both luminous and intimate. Color is not merely an accent but a true narrative theme: it unifies materials, guides perception, and directs the gaze.
The soft light of the Falkland lamps by Bruno Munari enhances this chromatic landscape, modulating the room between day and evening with a discreet, almost domestic rhythm. The furnishings alternate bespoke pieces with objects of memory: metal-and-wood tables designed by b-arch dialogue with vintage bentwood chairs, while a bench upholstered in a geometric fabric introduces a familiar, almost domestic note. A wall articulated by vertical slats, painted in the same wine-red tone, creates a visual rhythm that separates the dining room from the wine cellar without interrupting spatial continuity. Carefully calibrated lighting caresses the surfaces and enhances depth through the presence of mirrors, which multiply perspectives and convey a sense of calm and openness. It is an interior that plays delicately with perception, expanding it gently, never forcing the eye.
As in every project by the studio, architecture here is understood as a continuous process that unites vision, materiality, and human relationships. Giorgio Tomei Restaurant is not merely a functional environment; it is the story of a personal investment, a place that celebrates simplicity as a value, transforming essentiality into hospitality. Through a measured and conscious intervention, b-arch translates a dream into space, through that dialogue between designer, client, and context that represents the studio’s most authentic signature.
The result is a small interior, yet dense with identity, where design becomes a gesture of closeness—a way to shape a sincere, luminous, and deeply contemporary convivial experience.
