Hospitality
In the 1990s, Sydney’s hospitality industry was under the craze of a spartan and noisy minimalism. Luigi Rosselli Architects emerged with a series of restaurants, cafes, bistros and bars that provided a total sensorial pleasure: visual, aural and tactile. The public response was enthusiastic; reviews and awards named Cicada and Belmondo as the best restaurant designs. The more recent pizzerias and osterias have maintained these sensorial qualities of the fit-out; colours, textures and artwork all contribute to the pleasure of the senses.
The food experience requires attention to all details, from the custom designed lighting to the bespoke furniture, Luigi Rosselli Architects is involved in all aspects, including graphics and uniforms.
