Concept

In this Restaurant, which has always made its difference due to its refined service, a more differentiate services room was refurbished for special events. Sophistication and comfort were allied, in an ambiance wanted to be rustic: added challenge.

Maria Vilhena opted by the use of natural materials, like wood and cork, as well as neutral colours, like browns and beiges. Two walls of water closets were coated with cork, creating a three-dimensional game of great interest.
Dining room was divided using wooden folding screens, with chairs coached in fabric, in a contemporaneous but sober combination.

A lounge area was created, where a corner sofa was placed as well as some armchairs, surrounding a big carpet, on a comfortable space appealing to relax, and to a suspended fire place was added.
Illumination was thought to be soft, got by indirect lamps on the walls, and suspended diffuse lights, conceived in a different height game, giving space a bigger dynamic. The wall lamps, in copper tones, were specially conceived for this space, becoming detaching pieces for this room.
