CANTERA
Cantera is a new restaurant, launched by 5 partners in the Parioli district in Rome. Food here is a fusion of japanese traditional kitchen and the specific taste of meat. The interior design concept strongly embodies this idea. The intention has been to find a balance between oriental architecture and the spanish concept of the Cave (Cantera in spanish). Warm colours combined with natural and raw materials are dealing with the basic concept as when f ired earth hollow bricks by Mutina (by Patricia Urquiola), replace traditional Fusama sliding paper walls and allow the new mood to break through for a contemporary ambiance. Large windows surround the space, helping light to play its drama game. Concrete effect walls and lots of plants give life to every surface with unexpected shake.
