Article source: Salvatore Massone Salvatore Massone’s architectural firm signs the project CaBarET, a new pastry bistro located in the Isola Garibaldi neighborhood in Milan. The project focuses on a careful study of space and its valorization through heterogeneous architectural and furniture elements with a specific formal and functional identity. As in the case of a tray of diverse pastries, the so-called cabaret, these elements are held all together within the 100sqm area by the pattern of the floor and its projection on the ceiling. The red resin, combined with dark base marble grit, distinguishes the working area from the area for the public. Similarly, the red resin ceiling and the dark joists exploit two different types of light: a more technical and precise one above the operational area and a more diffused and mood lighting over the tables to illuminate the two distinct sectors of the bistrot.

The contrast of classic materials (Sapelli mahogany, marble grit) and more contemporary elements (resin, metal, varnished woods), both give a lively and elegant touch. The same contrast can be found in the combination of soft and curved shapes with straight lines and solid structures. Each aspect is tailor-made, from general and decorative lighting to all pieces of furniture such as café tables, stools and poufs. In the same way is a careful look to internal and external communication: the Dadaist imprint of the logo on the external sign anticipates the internal eclecticism and liveliness.
