Belo Horizonte, BR
Adding to the expansion of the city of Nova Lima, in the Greater Belo Horizonte, Osso Restaurant opened a new location in Vila da Serra. With 250 seats, the new restaurant mixes items both contemporary and rustic, by using iron, glass, leather and wire panels.
The heart of the whole project is the parrilla, the grill framed by a glass curtain that lets everyone see the kitchen’s vibe. From that particular element came the concept for all of the items that form the restaurant’s space.
The fire in the color of the walls and ceiling and the amber-tinged lights bring the customers a feeling of coziness. The steel of the knives and the wood of the meat-cutting boards are also integrated in the structure, in the counters and the furniture. Textures that resemble a home-like theme are also present in the cowhide panels made that form the background and give the restaurant its unique identity.
Exclusive furnishing was created for the restaurant by Prodomo Design, who used everything from tables made out of heat-treated eucalyptus boards to seats molded in eco-friendly leather.
The big Grim Grid ceiling – made out of metallic panels designed by Greco Design especially for the restaurant – is sure to attract the customers’ attention. Over the Grim Grid panels, there are layers of foam coated with clear fabric in order to better reflect the light. Painted in gradients of yellow, red and orange, the panels resemble flames.
Chairs were created exclusively by designer Olavo Machado Neto, out of a steel structure with seats and backs in steel plates.
