This winter, locals and visitors at the scenic town of Forli, can enjoy the tropical outdoors within the comfort of Italian indoors at the newly opened Ca’Leoni restaurant. A collaboration between the restaurant owner Dannis Leoni, restaurant architect and Momenti founders Alexander and Matteo Bagnai, has resulted in an unmistakably unique restaurant interior that mimics a garden.
All wall and product coverings were made with tecno fibre printed with graphics. To realize the vision of a “permanent garden” earthy browns and greens in varying hues were chosen for the tecno fibre. The realistic imagery on the walls transformed the interiors into a surreal space by the woods. The tabletops have been covered in botanical motifs adding to the verdant atmosphere. Natural wood and woven planters further enhance the natural appeal.
“Greenery and eco-friendliness were at the centre of this project,” says Alexander Bagnai, co-founder of Momenti, “so the idea of a permanent garden was an inevitable choice.”
“Momenti’s ability to customize the space to realize the underlying vision is its biggest strength. A strong visual identity that creates a truly distinct space is a natural outcome of Momenti’s design process,” adds Ashok Basoya, founder of Ottimo, which has brought the Momenti brand to India.
