HELMUT BASSANO

The project derives from a consolidated design experience, commissioned by the chain “Helmut”, and from the desire to create an industrial type environment, but still warm and homely. The building already had a very definite architectural style both inside and outside, with different sources of light between the two souls of the premises: a brighter one with glass windows and a darker and larger one. The usage of space is very intuitive with the large counter facing the entrance, “vinasse” in colour and a herbal apothecary, restored and turned into a backlit bottle shelving.

Looking around one can notice the space destined to lunch and conviviality consisting of a large table, a red velvet sofa and sectional tables, suitable for creating one large table. Everything is surrounded by a glass display transformed into a library. The next door room, attached to the main one thanks to a “window-library”, is furnished with small tables with iron bases and brushed durmast tops. The main room is characterized by light colours: white and sand with “vinasse” red, bright red and metal brush strokes. In the other room, instead, there is a contrast between bright light coming through the windows and the anthracite colour of the walls which enhance the colour nuances of the furniture.
