Sushi Club Saronno by LAI STUDIO, Maurizio Lai

Photographer: Matteo Guidetti

The SUSHI CLUB project in Saronno was born with the specific aim of creating a contemporary Asian dining concept. Here creativity and modern elegance are artfully combined, intentionally leaving behind any evident trace of traditional or ethnic esthetics.

The façade of the restaurant impressively extends 30 meters along the main road. The subject of a significant lighting intervention, it provides an intriguing glimpse of the lush scenery of lights and transparencies that describe the interiors, anticipating the stylistic theme and uniqueness of the design project.

Overcoming an imposing entrance hall, the quite large volume develops gradually, naturally offering unusual visual perspectives.

At the center of the restaurant, the iconic sushi counter is topped with a bright geometric sculpture, while the principal area consists of a vast space that progressively develops in length. Space is fragmented by the modular design of the elaborate ceilings and the recurring play of diffused light and reflections.

The second effective operation of a brand creation project, Sushi Club in Saronno progressively develops the philosophy of a dining format with style consistency, yet without the usual repetition of the furniture and fitting solutions.
