Albabel
Masquespacio presents the design for Albabel’s new restaurant in Picaña, a small town 8 km away from Valencia.
Antonio Ramirez was managing his pizzeria Albabel during more than 20 years in Picaña when he decided to contact Masquespacio, having a dream to convert his old restaurant in a completely new one. Being passionate about gastronomy both on a national as international level, Antonio since a few years had the wish to offer a new food concept that fusions the Mediterranean kitchen with some Andalusian from its own roots and a touch of international ingredients. For this new adventure, counting with the support of his brother Rafael he aspired to have a space in which he could feel like at home.
Christophe Penasse: “Many of the clients that contact us are seeking to fulfill a dream and this time it wasn’t different. In that cases our own clients many times are our source of inspiration and the starting point of a design with which they could feel identified.”
That way the new space for Albabel in Picaña is clearly inspired by the Andalusian roots from their founders, through recognizable materials from the south of Spain like raffia, earth bricks, plants and overall decorative elements. The design seeks to fusion the most eclectic part of Andalusia with the sophistication of their craftsmanship. Like usual in many projects from Masquespacio, above the project includes a touch of explosive colors combined with patterns that represent the graphic inspiration of the Spanish creative consultancy.
To be enlightened on the other hand is the use of olive wood furniture, including some chairs and stools made exclusively for the project with the most common wood in the south of Spain.
Ana Milena Hernández Palacios: “We love to fulfill the dreams of our clients. Their passion for their job makes us to be connected closely to them and allows us to have the privilege to enjoy our work on a daily base.”
