Cadde Filo D’olio

The Bağdat Caddesi branch of Café D’olio, the restaurant chain owned by the famous Italian chef Danilo Zanna, has been designed with a concept that reflects the refined and nostalgic spirit of Milan.

As Variolux, we created and produced unique architectural lighting solutions for this exclusive project to match the architectural design.

Details such as extravagant chandeliers, bar-top spotlights, wall fixtures, and corridor pendants provided both functional and aesthetically pleasing integrity.

Our Lighting solutions complemented the classic Italian atmosphere of the space, enriching the dining experience with a distinctive design element.

In this particular project, the Variolux touch was not limited to the lighting alone; it became a design language that enhanced the story and character of the space.
