Lucia: An Italian-Inspired Restaurant Interior Where Tradition Meets Modern Hospitality

P&M Furniture  |  📅 25 September 2025  |  ⏱ 4 min read  |  Project Stories

Our most recent hospitality interior design project combines comfortable rustic elements with contemporary products and materials. We were able to incorporate all of the clients’ requirements and aesthetic preferences into a space that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing while also evoking memories of cozy social gatherings with loved ones seated at big round tables. This was made possible by our innovative design process strategy.

The bar: kitchen tiles, barrel decor and sustainable lighting

Small tiles were added to the front of the bar to transform it and give it the appearance of a kitchen. The incorporation of wooden components, such as logo panels, frame columns, and barrel decorations, creates a subtle sense of presence in a barn or farm building. This is also accomplished through the use of environmentally friendly lighting, for which used metal barrels were given a second life.

Sustainability built into every detail

One of the fundamentals of our work is sustainability — we don’t just concentrate on recycled materials but also on items and materials that are very resistant to heavy use. Customers can delay a product transition, save on maintenance and replacement costs, and lessen their environmental impact by permitting the extended use of durable hospitality furniture. To assure the highest quality, hospitality furniture is therefore put through rigorous testing and a certification process.

Custom-made furniture: cane weaving and farm life details

Because a company’s uniqueness on the market is essential to its success, all of the products for this project were created custom order. A much-demanded trend is the cane weaving on the back of the chairs. Together with the concrete walls, flooring, and benches made of wood and leather, which portray farm life in black and white photographs, these elements create the overall ambiance.

Atmosphere: plants, earth tones and natural lighting

The positioning of plants, trees, soft lighting, and the combination of earth tone colours all contribute to the setting’s natural appearance and feel, providing a full experience that allows visitors to unwind and take it all in.

The centrepiece: a statement fireplace

A statement fireplace flanked by ornamental clotheslines is located in the middle of the restaurant. A delightful stroll through the winding lanes of an Italian village also comes to mind when you see the ornate wooden shutters and metal balconies.
