Peck, the Italian temple of haute cuisine since 1883, opened a new venue in the new high-rise Milan: Peck CityLife. The Italian studio Vudafieri-Saverino Partners has designed the space, defining an innovative concept: delicatessen, restaurant, wine bar and cocktail bar.
The aim was to create an environment rich with symbolic elements to reconcile Peck’s historical identity with its contemporary dimension. A bridge between the tradition of fine dining and the new city. Peck CityLife is located in a 300 sqm organically shaped pavilion, under the skyscrapers designed by internationally renowned architects.
It is, first and foremost, a project of “designing relationships”, namely those between different people and times. The interior design was structured to provide a narrative continuity throughout the different areas to create a fluid relationship between the delicatessen, restaurant, wine bar and cocktail bar. Four places which differ in their function and relationship with the public, but which all make for a unique experience.
