dimorestudio presents Trattoria del Ciumbia in brera

 

Dimorestudio completes Trattoria del Ciumbia, a new dining experience for Triple Sea Food in Milan. Inspired by the traditional Brera eateries frequented by the representatives of Milan’s artistic avant-garde of the 1960s, such as Piero Manzoni, Nanda Vigo, Paolo Scheggi, Enrico Castellani, and Agostino Bonalumi, the Milan-based studio founded by Emiliano Salci and Britt Moran reinterpret the space to ensure guests the warmth of the typical trattoria in a setting that still exudes unexpected contemporary twists.

wood, glass, and colorful tiled mosaics 

 

Upon entering Trattoria del Ciumbia by Dimorestudio (see more here), guests discover a wood-and-glass box with lace curtains at eye level, recalling the entrances of old-fashioned restaurants, like a visual barrier between the indoor and the street while providing natural light to the first room. Here, the aperitif area features a custom-made pewter counter with inserted brass profiled vitrines, which displays an installation of reassembled plates. The lighting reveals long lines of opaline glass tubes with integrated neon on the ceilings. A central balcony, which overlooks the staircase leading to the basement, extends the view to the second room, creating a spatial continuity between the two areas with shot walnut wood paneling and custom floor tiles arranged in mosaic patterns in milk, mustard yellow, liver red, opium, Tenebrae black, and swamp green colors – a nod to the typical simple flooring for trattorias unexpectedly revisited from Dimorestudio.

a dining experience enriched with italian furniture pieces

 

The essentiality of the wall boiserie is interrupted by retro newspaper racks, coat hooks, and a series of watercolors depicting Italian rationalist architecture from the 1930s. In this room, a checkerboard of square opaline ceiling lights set into liver red painted ceiling panels illuminates the dining area, as well as a series of Pietro mirror wall sconces from Dimoremilano, the Milanese studio’s contemporary furniture brand. Additional pieces of furniture by Dimoremilano distinguish the space, with the Rei model chairs with steel frames and woven straw seats and the Ignazio tables in the same shot walnut used for the paneling. Also, on the ground floor, a discreet private dining room is lined with plum and burgundy velvet curtains. Here, guests can sit on original Carimate chairs by Vico Magistretti around a Dimoremilano retro glass table, illuminated by Flos’ striking Splugen Bräu hanging lamps, designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in the 1960s for the eponymous Milanese brewery.

A shot walnut paneled staircase with sleek neon inserted handrails leads to the private Disco club in the basement of Trattoria del Ciumbia, exclusively reserved for restaurant guests. The intimate club lounge is an ideal spot for after-dinner drinks in an environment softened by brown carpeting, deep blue satin wall drapery, an upholstered sofa bench, and the iconic Parigi poufs by Dimoremilano. A porthole in the steel-effect laminated paneled wall discreetly reveals a perfectly stocked bar. The protagonist of the space is a brass column with a steel support surface. The spheric shapes of a Gae Aulenti Giova table lamp dialogue with the bar porthole, while the sound system provides enveloping music atmospheres of the Italian hits from the Seventies and Eighties, perfectly matching the interiors.
