DUAL – TURIN

Show food restaurant

—

Turin, Italy
[2001]

Dual is the first Turin example of show-food bar and restaurant. Overlooking one of the spectacular squares of Turin, Dual is a modern interpretation of the old Turin’s cafes tradition where there are opportunities to meet new people and socialize. Dual is double in its target, lounge bar and restaurant. The shell developed on the bar projection welcomes you. Such is the design intent that defines without defining the two uses. The restaurant surrounds the shell, but it is also formally excluded thus reserving customers greater privacy.

The two spaces are revealing one another in a polished and lacquered with 70’s citations area. The overall design, in addition to interior design, includes every detail studying, from graphics, to communication and merchandising. Also interesting is the olfactory communication example, through essences that spread in order to give an olfactory Dual memory to the user. The restaurant insists on a space of 200 square meters.
