LINE restaurant – cafè by G Studio, Salerno – Italy. Located on the main street of the town, the Line was founded with the goal of creating a metropolitan meeting place, a place of confluence of different styles and cultures that inhabit the heart of the city. The bar, which is characterized by a narrow and long shape (hence the name), has the dominant presence of the long bar counter, which takes us up to the restaurant and becomes the focal point of the room. The concept of meeting and confluence also applies in the choice of materials: glass, steel, wood, grès and plaster create a cosmopolitan environment but at the same time welcoming and harmonious. Most of the furniture is made on the project, from the bar counter, to the wooden paneling of the back bench, to the leather sofa which incorporates the soft lines of the paneling behind the plaster.

Pizza Napoletano Café by BaNANA OFFICE, Tokyo – Japan. Chips Republic café by Alexchoi design & Partners, Hong Kong. The café was used to be attached to the Grand cinema which customers would easily misapprehend as a concession of the cinema. For all of the time, it had been silently gleaming at the corner and had been taken a passive role in attracting customers.
But the fact is, this café is far more than that. By the time of cinema renovation, Chips Republic decided to step out and shows its British personality and attribute. Chips Republic is still attached to the cinema, but it now went forth and with its own welcoming shop front. Designed by Alexchoi design & Partners.
