KOOK Osteria & Pizzeria,
opened its doors just outside Rome 's
Olgiata in 2012. The young architectural firm Noses Architects founded by Mohamed
Keilani and Luca Gasparini put their best foot forward to create a space that
compliments the essence of the dishes while at the same time retaining that
overboard-Italian character. With one glimpse at KOOK you instantly know that
this is a place where you can eat, lounge and have one of those wonderful days
where you go for lunch and leave from the table late evening. Through the
finishes and décor, the character of the interior culminates in what can only
be described as contemporary nostalgia. [1]
To strengthen the
relationship between innovation and tradition, between grandmother's recipes
and recipes from chefs, an olive tree, symbol of wisdom, longevity and
Mediterranean essence, embedded in the glass. A green aquarium that imprisons
one of the true symbols of culture and local cuisine, making it free, however,
catalyst of light that spreads throughout the room.The key word is harmony.
Walking into the room, you can discover an endless array of details, obvious
(such as the Bianchi bicycle) or hidden (such as exposed pipes from sinks, just
they used to be), huge or tiny, communicating with each other in a perfect
industrial style, vintage, but still faithful to our Mediterranean identity.
The
know how to dose planning by Noses also reads in the refined combination of
different types of matter to floor: from the honey colored parquet flooring,
industrial resin, the classic Mediterranean colors of the tiles in cement.If
you do not have under careful enough to grasp the multitude of stimuli from the
container and content, the designers have denounced the essence of certain
objects (or incentives to light perception), affecting words in wood and
concrete.The spatial continuity - visual, and then of color and light, with the
outside is studied because the olive trees, colored symbol par excellence of
the Mediterranean, did peep through the restaurant tables. Read some reviews here
and here.
