il Bracco is a restaurant interior designed by Maison Interiors for restaurant group Western Addition in Scottsdale, Arizona. Inspired by Italian Modernism, the bi-level space combines contemporary detailing with references to traditional Italian dining culture.
The design emphasizes warm materials and layered textures, including walnut, white oak, cream-coloured brick, cork, leather, and polished chrome. Large sliding glass doors connect the dining areas to an outdoor patio, reflecting Scottsdale's indoor-outdoor lifestyle while creating a relaxed atmosphere suited to both casual meals and evening dining.
The interior uses a palette of sage green, rich brown, and soft yellow tones paired with tailored furnishings and custom finishes. Leather banquettes feature refined piping details, while patchwork wood surfaces and chrome accents reference the craftsmanship and elegance associated with Italian design. The restroom vestibule introduces a contrasting material composition of travertine, Calacatta marble, and cola-coloured ceramic tiles inspired by 1970s Italian interiors.
