Nobuya

Nobuya is a Japanese restaurant in the heart of Milan, housed in a 16th-century building near the Duomo. Its ambiance blends Japanese traditional elements, like the asanoha symbol, with natural materials and Italian architectural details. The minimalist layout, featuring tatami floors and blown glass chandeliers, showcases the harmony between Japanese tradition and Italian craftsmanship, creating a unique experience that unites both cultures. The project is fully customized, with bespoke furniture crafted to the finest detail: from the flooring installation and the decorative patterns on the tables, to the design of the seating.

MOOR was created as a place capable of engaging guests in a complete, immersive, and shared experience: the project interprets dining as a moment of socializing, entertainment, and aesthetic discovery, a place where light, materials, and volumes interact with visitors and tell a coherent story of hospitality and style.

Housed in a former industrial warehouse, the restaurant features a five-meter-high interior. Its dramatic façade stretches over 100 meters across three fronts, featuring bold portals, gleaming metal, and large windows that hint at an interior defined by light and transparency.

The dining area spans about 800 mq, seating up to 300 guests in spaces that balance intimacy and sociability. Flared volumes, semi-private rooms, and scenic islands create cozy settings without breaking visual flow. The predominantly neutral and dark palette, punctuated by bold accents, creates an atmosphere both captivating and inviting. Bespoke fittings and furnishings engage in a subtle dialogue that enhances the space.
