米兰Égalité餐厅

The interior design project is by Vudafieri-Saverino Partners, who add yet another chapter to the list of premises designed, and that in Milan alone has many examples of their eclectic interpretations, such as in the cases of the Berton Restaurant, Pisacco, the two DRYs (in which they have the dual role of partners and designers), Zaza Ramen or the latest addition: Kanpai, also in via Melzo. With Égalité, Tiziano Vudafieri and Claudio Saverino have put on show the savoir-faire of the French boulangère tradition. The large laboratory and oven in the main room put the work of the bakers at the centre of the visual narrative with their bread making directly visible to customers. The design combines 1950s bakery elements (the large yellow-orange polished counter, the beige tile wall) and materials that speak of the real thing (the solid wood shelving) with an amused look at the iconography of the Parisian boulangerie and café with the overthe- top zinc bar. The premises – 215 sq m - located at the corner of Via Melzo and Via Lambro – have seven windows on the street. Bright and intimate at the same time - also thanks to the original plan layout of islands with small and large tables, highs and lows, benches or stools. A Parisianstyle dehors in the colours of Égalité, with wrought iron tables and chairs, welcomes the clientele - it already has the flavour of a lived-in place: as if it had always been part of the neighbourhood scene. Égalité is a place with a strong eclectic modern and colourful imprint that interprets in graphics (realized by 150Up Studio), through a playful approach, the founding principles of French popular culture, the revolution, the French courts and their characters in which kings, emperors, revolutionaries and peasants proudly indulge a baguette or croissant.
