Revolutionizing Restaurant Design: Osteria by Angie

Earnestone's Innovative Approach to Restaurant Design in a Department Store Setting

Delving into the unique design of Osteria by Angie, a restaurant located in a department store, this article explores how Earnestone has revolutionized restaurant design, creating a space that is both classy and casual, and perfectly suited to its shopping mall environment.

Earnestone, a leading name in interior design, has taken the concept of restaurant design to new heights with their project, Osteria by Angie. This restaurant, unlike its two independently located counterparts, is situated within a department store. The design challenge was to create a space that would stand out amidst the hustle and bustle of the shopping mall, and Earnestone has risen to the occasion.

The inspiration behind the design was to maintain the restaurant's classy yet casual style, while adding a sense of warmth and sharing. This was achieved through the use of contrasting materials and colors. The meshed metal sign, light white wood, and light gray floors are contrasted with dark milky tiles, creating a visually pleasing image that draws in the crowd.

One of the unique features of the design is the warm golden metal cubes that extend from the entrance display area to the high-ceiling space. The reflections of lights from the wall mirrors add a sense of liveliness to the stylish space. The few scarlet dining chairs by the bar and the red chandeliers further add warmth and joy to the dining area.

The technical specifications of the design include a skylight where cables are hidden by dark blue ash paint. The open kitchen and pizza-making table add an interactive element to the dining experience, making it fun and enjoyable. Metal frames adorn the walnut color tables, adding a touch of sophistication.

The project, which started in July 2015 and finished in January 2016 in Taipei, was a challenge due to its limited space and fierce competition. However, Earnestone managed to overcome these challenges by emphasizing the restaurant's unique features and adding youthful and modern elements to fit the shopping mall's atmosphere. This innovative approach to restaurant design has not gone unnoticed. In 2017, Osteria by Angie was awarded Silver in A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award, a testament to Earnestone's outstanding expertise and innovation.

In conclusion, Earnestone's Osteria by Angie is a prime example of how restaurant design can be revolutionized to suit different environments. It showcases the perfect blend of class, casualness, and warmth, making it a standout feature in a bustling shopping mall. This project serves as an inspiration for future restaurant designs, proving that with creativity and innovation, any space can be transformed into a unique dining experience.
