"Giardino" is the extension of the bar's interior design, marking the next step in exploring Venetian inspirations. The organic form of the garden hovers over the gray cobblestones of the MDM district in Warsaw like the famous Giardini della Biennale over the waters of the lagoon. And you can also enjoy art here!
From the "Giardino" terrace, tulip-shaped umbrellas rise like giant flowers. Their vibrant red hue invites you to this magical city corner. To enter, just boldly cross the azure line of light and step onto the pier made of colored ceramics.
Once there, functional sculptures await – lounges, modular tables that can be arranged freely, and seats winding between the umbrella stems. Under one of them stands a bar, designed by Ola Niepsuj, a renowned artist and graphic designer who also created the mosaics inside Va Bene Cicchetti.
The primary material in the "Giardino" project is colored ceramics, merging Venetian traditions with elements already present in the bar's design. Created specifically for this space, personalized gres and terrace tiles with unique patterns and colors are the result of collaboration with Tubądzin brand. Complex elements made of lacquered steel were crafted by local Warsaw artisans.
Essential to the composition is the lush greenery in the plant pots surrounding the island. In the evenings, linear lighting hidden in metal profiles illuminates it from the darkness. In this way, the authors from NOKE Architects have created a magical island – a spatial installation that will intrigue and attract not only regular visitors but also passersby, becoming a colorful element of Warsaw's landscape.
