Furniture, Holiday Café

THE CUSTOM-MADE FURNITURE DESIGNED BY FRANKLIN AZZI FOR CAFÉ HOLIDAY IS A NATURAL EXTENSION OF THE INTERIOR PROJECT.

CHAIRS, TABLES, AND STOOLS, DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THE LOCATION, ARE MADE OF THREE-PLY SOLID OAK PANELS. THE WOOD, WHICH IS WORKED AND VARNISHED, BECOMES A COMMON LANGUAGE THAT CONNECTS THE DIFFERENT LAYERS OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT. THE FORMS ARE PRECISE, ALMOST ARCHETYPICAL, WITH A FOCUS ON MATERIALITY.

THE FURNITURE DIALOGUES WITH THE REFERENCES THAT MAKE UP THE SPACE: THE VARNISHED WOOD WALL PANELS EVOKE THE ELEGANCE OF RIVA BOATS FROM VENICE, THE BAR COUNTER BORROWS FROM THE RATIONAL AESTHETICS OF NEW YORK DINERS, WHILE THE WHITE LACQUERED WOOD FACADE ECHOES PARISIAN FACADES. ALL THESE FRAGMENTS ARE ASSEMBLED TO CREATE A CLEAR BUT NOT LITERAL AESTHETIC.
