We would like to take the opportunity of the new Project section activation in the DTS web-site to speak about the Gallery Bar, a venue in Vicenza designed by the Arredi Costa Group, using the RDM slabs by DesignTaleStudio.

This project has really enthralled me with its richness, the blending of shapes and materials, its light geometries… . The Gallery of 650 square meters with over 200 seats hosting up to 600 people, is a multipurpose area which can be used as a cafeteria, a restaurant, a cocktail bar or even a music bar.

The customers access the building through a majestic glass façade which veils the interiors increasing the customers’ expectations: when entering the bar they immediately feel enshrouded in lights sounds and videos as if in a parallel universe enclosed within this marvelous case. Many lounge zones, one after the other, are dressed with unusual and amusing sofas, up to the restaurant area where the tables are set out in a dynamic way and separated from the main area by a glass wall so that even the people enjoying dinner in the restaurant can interact with the bar-room atmosphere and be part of the events while tasting a sumptuous meal and sipping a glass of wine.

In such a context the RDM slabs by DesignTaleStudio stand out as the surface of the bar: a huge “monolith” with ethnic and brilliant traits cleverly emphasized and made almost surrealistic by lighting. This provides evidence of the super-versatility of DesignTaleStudio slabs also for “unconventional” uses such as volumes covering. This project is the very statement of the importance of large size tiles: the flooring, in fact, is covered with 60×120 size tiles perfectly matching the Pareti - an unimaginable opportunity until quite recently, bearing witness to the research and technological innovation of the ceramic industry over the past few years.

If you’d like to enjoy a drink in this evocative venue, plan a trip to Vicenza at the Gallery, dinner & dance. Meanwhile, if you are happy to settle for some photographs “only”, feel free to visit the sheet in the Project section.
