Studio DIDEA signs a new restaurant in the Porta Romana area in Milan: Muddica. What was once a tailor's shop in the Porta Romana area is transformed by the Sicilian studio DiDeA into the 'Muddica' bistro with an informal atmosphere, where you can taste and buy Sicilian gastronomic excellences.
Despite the limited size of the local square meters 50, the architects were able to interpret the request of the buyer to have a dual function space, creating two horizontal bands: the lower part dedicated to the tasting, the top exhibition of products on shelves.
The entrance is defined by a large counter in wood and iron; on the opposite side, three small tables with wheels slide along a track in iron. A series of high stools black iron complement this first room, dedicated to fast drinks.
Particular attention was devoted to the material elements also being dismantled when, during the renovations have emerged and therefore kept at sight of the original wooden ceilings, and a bearing wall in red brick in which is housed the arch that opens the next room, reserved for dinner.
Here, too, the environment is characterized by the use of the two predominant materials, wood and iron that still meet in the furnishings - chairs and tables - all custom designed by the studio and made by Sicilian artisans.
The finishes playing on color contrasts: throughout the room the floor is gray tile hexagonal tiles.
On the back of the counter wall tiles white vintage give continuity to the local light walls, and emphasize the black of iron shelving.
The shelves also serve as a support applied to lamps in different points and orientable.
