Metal-effect surfaces provide an elegant cladding for the Italian chain’s restaurant opened in the Seoul department store
No-one could deny the beauty of metal-look ceramic surfaces: the strong visual impact of the chrome plating and oxidisation effects combined with the marks left by workmanship and time attracts contemporary designers, who make it a central feature of their projects.
And Caesar’s Alchemy collection, in Copper colour, inspired by the complex transformations this metal undergoes, provides a finish of exquisite sophistication for the new Eataly restaurant, recently opened in the prestige Hyundai Department Store in Seoul.
The metropolitan department store, located in the heart of the South Korean capital, is an impressive symbol of elegance and innovation. The introduction of the Eataly Restaurant into the mix offers the vibrant Asian metropolis a tasty slice of Italian culinary culture. The restaurant has an ambience of refined luxury, reinforced by the Caesar porcelain stoneware, a choice which explores the beauty of metal-look ceramics with the aid of outstanding design.
Alchemy Copper, selected in the 80x80 size and in Matt finish, is truly eye-catching with its intense colours and rich shade variations, which evoke the fascinating changes and patinas created as the metal oxidises. This ceramic material not only adds a touch of sophistication but also guarantees durability and convenience, essential factors in a heavily-used location.
Interior design plays a crucial role in shaping the identity of a place like a restaurant. The Eataly Restaurant proves that high-quality design can enhance the dining experience: every detail, from the choice of materials to the colour scheme, has been chosen to create a mood that reflects Italian class and tradition, while integrating seamlessly with Asian modernity.
