About the project
Studio EM have created a new concept for renowned chef, Marco Pierre White. The design for Marco’s New York Italian in the Fairmont Bab Al Bahar in Abu Dhabi, is a nod to the bygone era of when going out for dinner was an event rather than a triviality.
Marco’s New York Italian Abu Dhabi marks Studio EM’s first collaboration with the newly formed Black and White International and RMAL Hospitality. The interiors of the restaurant combines the sophistication of Italian cuisine and style with the urban, artistic and dynamic vibes of 1920’s New York.
The facade of the entrance is a wash of monochrome with the black loft style windows but it is emphasized by the large brass arch entrance way, this is our showstopper, the entrance transports the diner from a hotel corridor into bygone era, with modern hints, in essence, the world of Marco Pierre White’s New York Italian.
The subway tile clad, freestanding pizza oven is visible to the diners so they can immerse themselves in the cooking process and see their food being freshly prepared, adding theatre to the dining experience as well as being a key design component of the brand.
Antique brass, white terrazzo and walnut woods are featured heavily drawing in from the 1920s deco era, with fresh pops of colour like the green and mustard velvets in the upholstery which pays homage to the vibrancy of the brand and the eclectic nature of the offering”
The merging of the patterns, textures and fittings are in themselves a nod to the merger of New York and Italian and with the modern touches such as the artwork and feature light design.
