THE PROJECT
Working with Double L Studio, Intrecci Toscani developed two woven elements in straw rope for the restaurant interior: a large canopy above the bar counter and five pendant lights. The same material and weaving language was adapted to different forms and scales, creating a coherent visual identity throughout the space.
