    Concept & Aesthetic

    The design draws inspiration from Italian villas and rustic trattorias, focusing on natural materials and understated elegance. A mix of terracotta tones, lime-plastered walls, and deep burgundy accents shapes the visual narrative.

    • A black-framed glass partition subtly divides the space while maintaining openness.
    • Framed monochrome photographs evoke the charm of classic Italy.
    • Handcrafted details, with products like the fountain procured from Clay Men, introduce artisanal character.

    Earthy Materiality

    The hand-finished lime plaster walls reference centuries-old Italian homes where walls develop a patina over time, telling a story of age and authenticity. Instead of pristine perfection, these walls bring a worn-in charm, evoking the architecture of Florence and Siena.

    Terracotta, widely used in Renaissance palazzos and countryside Italian villas, gives warmth and depth to the interiors.

    Lime plaster is a signature feature of Mediterranean homes, offering a soft, uneven texture that interacts beautifully with light.

    The bar design nods to classic Italian enotecas (wine bars), where brick and stone play a defining role. Brick tiles recall the historic wine cellars of Piedmont and Tuscany.

    Black tiles add a sleek, modern contrast, bringing in an urban Italian café aesthetic. A deep burgundy wall in the Private Dining Room (PDR) highlights the liquor display.

    Lighting , Accents and Furniture

    Fixtures by Aditi Anuj, pleated paper chandeliers and LED Black pendant cylindrical hanging light add warmth and texture.

    Solid wood tables and chairs lend a natural touch.

    Rust and ochre banquette seating adds a nice play of color and contrast which makes it inviting.

    Infinity Atelier’s approach to Little Italy, Kolkata, celebrates the imperfect beauty of natural materials while maintaining a modern, elegant sensibility. Every detail, from the lighting and wall finishes to the bar and seating, is a nod to the charm of Italian heritage, reimagined for contemporary Kolkata.
