SUSHI CLUB – Asian Dining
SUSHI CLUB is an oriental cuisine concept restaurant, in which creativity and elegance combine to create a refined and scenographic environment at the same time.
Third of a brand development project, which focuses on originality and exclusivity instead of on the rigidity of aformat, the restaurant stands out for its large size and the intense visual impact of the creations, which accompany the public by designing spaces inside of other spaces.

IYO Aalto
There is a contemporary idea of Japan in the project that the Italian architect Maurizio Lai has developed for IYO Aalto, the second restaurant of the group after IYO Taste Experience, the only Japanese restaurant in Italy awarded a Michelin star.

FEEL – Fusion Restaurant
FEEL is a small, compact and decidedly intimate restaurant. The interpretation of a narrow space translates into the creation of a rather homogeneous but sophisticated and exclusive furnishing system.

KISEN
Maurizio Lai interprets the choice of fusion cuisine as an elegant and domestic space at the same time, almost the extension of an ideal home, a celebration of the contemporary lifestyle.
KISEN offers its public delicate tones and attention to detail in all aspects, from the refined luminous sculptures that decorate the walls, up to the choice of materials and finishes for the bathrooms.
Particularly elaborate and original is the realization of the wall along the staircase that connects the two floors of the room, consisting of a luminous boiserie, able to vary the geometric decorative motif, depending on the width of its moving parts.
Special care has been given to the design of lighting solutions for all areas.
The space is arranged o... More
