Architectural dialogues

In fluid connection with the Brera district in which it stands, the Vesta restaurant is an elegant and eclectic location designed by architect Stefano Belingardi Clusoni with the collaboration of Poliform Contract

Vesta, the inaugural restaurant of the Triple Sea Food Group, a recent addition to Milan’s hospitality sector, has opened its doors in the Brera district. Historically renowned for its arts and culture, the district has, in recent years, formed the pulsating heart of the city’s design epicenter.

Celebrated for its refined seafood offerings, Vesta is also distinguished by its exceptionally elegant interior design, developed by architect Stefano Belingardi Clusoni. Upon entering, an impressive travertine marble staircase immediately commands attention, affording a breathtaking view of Via Fiori Chiari and seamlessly integrating the restaurant with the city. Passing through to the outdoor area, located just before the main dining room, guests are welcomed by carefully curated materials and furniture arrangements that seek to foster conviviality and social interaction.

A second staircase leads to the lower floor, a more intimate environment where architecture once again assumes a pivotal role, with a scenic series of arches leading to a grandiose counter. Here, it is the materials themselves that establish a continuous connection between the outside and the inside, with warm, enveloping tones of fabrics and finishes taking center stage.

Meanwhile, in the realm of furnishings, the Grace armchairs, an iconic design by Emmanuel Gallina for Poliform, are instantly recognizable. Poliform Contract created the travertine marble finishes, including the staircase and the ebony and brass elements, as well as the furnishings of the private room with tables, chairs, and custom pieces designed by architect Belingardi Clusoni.
