The familiar and hospitable warmth of the traditional trattoria has been reworked by Dimorestudio who have brought their decorative and eclectic vision to the design of the new Trattoria del Ciumbia in Milan. Located at number 32 via Fiori Chiari, the restaurant takes inspiration from the traditional venues in the neighbourhood, frequented by exponents of the Milanese artistic avant-garde in the 1960s such as Piero Manzoni, Nanda Vigo, Paolo Scheggi, Enrico Castellani and Agostino Bonalumi, but with a new contemporary twist.
The third venue to be launched by TSF Holding, following the opening of VESTA and CASA Fiori Chiara, the Trattoria del Ciumbia represents the completion of the first phase of a plan to transform Brera into a gourmet district through the work of the restaurant group, that has once again chosen Poliform (following on from the Vesta restaurant) as interior design partner for the supply of furniture and the creation of claddings, finishes and customised pieces – both at the entrance level, dominated by the imposing counter and framed by the panelling in flamed walnut wood and bespoke floor tiles laid in a mosaic pattern, and at semi-basement level, that houses an intimate private lounge where amid the brown carpet and dark-blue satin curtains, materials of with an industrial appeal stand out
The signature of Poliform Contract is evident throughout: from the entrance lobby to the counter and the bar, from the bottle rack to the waiter’s station, as well as all the panelling, storage cupboards, wood and metal cladding, wallpaper and drapes. Each of these elements had been made by the contract division of the brand, just like all the fixed furniture and the “special” pieces designed by Dimorestudio. Meanwhile the chairs and tables of the main rooms are original pieces designed by Dimoremilano.
