Cuines33

Creating a humble and intimate approach to the interior, Cuines33 is formed by a casual atmosphere with small spaces for guests to literally enjoy a culinary journey. An interior design defined by an array of stone, wood and metal brings materials that are all natural and have deliberately been selected to complement the feeling of dining in a very personal, atelier-like space. They are raw, understated, tending towards basic almost; not distracting from the main protagonists: the chefs and the cuisine. This ultimately enhances the intimate experience and sense of presence that was the initial catalyst for the project.

In order to achieve moments of surprise when experiencing the menu and a clear definition of functions, the space is layered through various architectural elements and materials, but just as much through the use of light, creating different settings for different occasions. One room, where the hostess takes center stage, is moody with illuminated niches displaying various products that are used in the menu. Another is well lit by a full-length vertical north faced skylight inspired by painters’ ateliers or museums. Guests sit around the chef to witness the finishing of the dishes. Two large racks are placed to the sides of the space; filled with the chef’s own handmade ceramics and sources of inspiration to tie it all together.
