Exquisitely Elegant Restaurant Interiors

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Francesc Rifé Studio Boasts Dark Finishes for Merkato

— January 11, 2019 — Art & Design
Elegant restaurant interiors give spaces an exquisite and refined quality. Such is the new location of Merkato in Valencia.

The aesthetic of the eating establishment is arranged by Barcelona-based Francesc Rifé Studio. With the use of a dark colorway and smooth contemporary furniture, Merkato welcomes its guests in a bold and sophisticated atmosphere. The building, in which the eatery will be operating from, is a former aircraft hanger. The high ceilings and industrial open-concept plan surely add a potent component to the elegant restaurant interior, "evoking the atmosphere of an outdoor courtyard."

The kitchen is also stylishly separated from the main eating area through a chic partition wall that is composed of charcoal terracotta tiles.
