„Ziel ist es, die Idee zu vermitteln, auswärts zu essen
und sich dabei ein wenig wie zu Hause zu fühlen. (...)
Die warmen und wohnlichen Innenräume zeichnen
sich durch helle, aber natürliche Farben aus, die an die
in der Küche verwendeten Zutaten erinnern.”

13.10 RESTAURANT
IN VIMERCATE
The 13.10 Ristorante opened last year in a suburb north
of Milan hosted by the municipality of Vimercate. A small
but exquisite boutique restaurant with just 25 seats,
where diners are intended to be tempted in two ways:
While chef Marcello Passoni tickles the palate, interior
architect and designer Serena Confalonieri ensures good
taste beyond the plate with her first interior project.
I f you look at the creative spectrum of Italian interior architect and
designer Serena Confalonieri – ranging from graphic works to fur-
niture and textile designs to the design of entire house façades – you
can recognize clear design preferences: She juggles boldly with pat-
terns, reaches dauntlessly into the paint pot and plays skilfully with
surface textures. She remains true to her style in her first interior pro-
ject, an opportunity to fully express her creativity, so kaleidoscopic and
colourful, even though the colour palette here is mainly concentrated
on natural tones – apart from the brightly patterned wallpaper in the
restroom area. The plastered walls and ceilings of the rooms, which are
grouped around a small inner courtyard, are bathed in muted shades
of beige, brown, grey and green and thus manage to form a calm base.
The floors and even some of the walls are much wilder: Large-format
porcelain-stoneware tiles in a high-contrast marble look bring a good
dose of dynamism into play here. Meanwhile, the grooved wooden
surfaces of the wall niches, into which upholstered and chequered ben-
ches are fitted, provide tactile vibrancy. The rippled pattern is repea-
ted on the small reception desk in the entrance area. Furniture and
home accessories that have been created by the designer herself can
of course also be found in the restaurant, including the Archie wooden
table by Medulum, the Stilla wall mirror by Potocco, the Mia vase by
Mason Editions, a custom-made carpet by Besana Carpet Lab as well
as the colourful Carnival wallpaper by Wall&decò. By the way, it is no
coincidence that all the components – meaning the colours, the shapes
and the materials – come together to create a harmonious interior at
the 13.10 Ristorante. Serena Confalonieri, who previously made a name
for herself as a graphic- and product designer, had studied interior
architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. With the design of the small
restaurant, which welcomes its guests with a pleasant, homely feel, she
has now made her debut with an entire interior concept. Her eccentric
and refined style transforms the environment and successfully adds an
extra touch of personality to the whole space.
