Osteria Oggi de Studio Gram | Intérieurs de café

Oggi translates to ‘today’, and the space reflects this meaning as a modern interpretation of all things Italian, simple and subdued, with a playful personality, informed by the squares and piazzas of Italy. The brief was simple; the client wanted a bright interior, with the kitchen on show, a direct reaction to the moody, dimly lit spaces of the local hospitality scene.

Vaulted ceilings, archways and a long narrow bar are all presented by a shop front, where your focus is drawn to the rear of the space, where the play of light through its saw toothed roof, and the draped greenery from the produce garden capture the essence of Italy.

The repetition, the materiality and the formal nature of these outdoor spaces have all influenced the outcome; a calming, seemingly outdoor space, where the palette is muted enough to allow the users other senses to experience the tastes and the smells that come from the kitchen above.
