The La Rotonda coffee shop has been in business for more than thirty years, situated not far from the historic centre. It is located in a building of significant historical importance and is therefore protected by Cultural Heritage Assets Department of the Marche region.
The interior of the coffee shop and pizzeria is characterised by arches and vaults with levels at different heights. Given these critical issues, two main products were used. With the Archicove product, the lighting designers emphasised and highlighted the architectural movements of the ceiling. Placement was directed above the headers, at the base of the columns and in spaces obtained through the creation of specific casings. All to hide the sources. With the Ink system, on the other hand, positioned on the ceiling and wall, light was introduced into the key points of the shop without the need for any structural changes or tracing. Both systems were chose to be elegantly integrated without interfering with the architectural environment.
