Stylish seatings for an elegant and cozy open space
“The Wallace Collection Restaurant”
This criticality appeared on the drawing already, and got even more strong after choosing the oak wood, a precious species, which is anyway less resistant than ash wood and beech wood. “Concepts by Braida”’s technicians suggested to replace the oak wood with the beech wood in order to gain a higher resistance, and to make the back legs in metal.
Changing the materials meant saving money as well, because the beech wood is less expensive than the oak wood.
The first prototype of chair was made with a metal frame where the back in beech wood was inserted. The beech wood was chosen thanks to its mechanical resistance which is higher than the ash wood or oak wood’s resistance.
For the armchair instead, “Concepts by Braida” has suggested to choose the ash wood, species that is visually more similar to the oak wood.
Since there was no time for curving the wood, in order to make the back of the chairs - the customer had only 10 days time for placing the prototypes in the building site -, “Concepts by Braida” has produced two basic samples meant to check the encumbrance and the functionality.
The final prototypes have been made later on and approved by the purchaser.
The seatings have been upholstered with tailor-made fabrics whose pattern recalls the ‘W’ in the museum’s name. Furthermore they comply with the BS5852, the British Standard for fire tests for furniture.
The lead time of 8 weeks was met, even if it meant that most of the work had to be done in August, the month when Italian companies mainly close down for summer holidays.

Spaces furnished with character and optimized for big numbers
Restaurant “Spazio Donizetti”
For the chairs, armchairs and bar stools, the customer has chosen the model New Buffy from the collection Opera, combining tradition and experience in the wood manufacture.
In order to fulfil the customer’s requirements in terms of budget, the armchairs have been made with solid wood armrests and frame. For the back ”Concepts by Braida” has chosen a sandwich panel stained to dark walnut: this makes the seat lighter and reduces the product’s cost.
The so called convivial tables, designed by the architect Fabio Vinella, are conceived as a sharing point where work and conviviality can be mixed. After receiving the final drawing, “Concepts by Braida” has made this huge table with a squared central hole, through which network cables and electric cables could pass and be hold up by a green plant used also as camouflage. A table ideally composed by 4 rectangles perpendicular with each other and staggered. This project was technically conceived by Marco. An ideal space were to grab some food, but also a space where you can have a chat with someone or work, literally a convivial space.
Regarding the room in the upper floor, the idea was to create a more discreet space with a refined atmosphere. For this reason “Concepts by Braida” has designed and produced some tables with a higher height than the standard, in order to match them with the bar stools. At the same time they have added some details in neoclassical style, which have created a original match between shape and dimensions.
The three round tables were meant to be placed in the mezzanine. Since the tables were conceived in order to be always covered by tablecloths, “Concepts by Braida” has made them in lacquered plywood, a good compromise between functionality and price. The customer expressed as well the need of joining them when needed, in order to obtain a big oval table. “Concepts by Braida” has therefore produced two light extensions, easy to be quickly fixed.
A few months later the customer has asked for an additional service: the outdoor decoration in order to be able to welcome an important event related to the Salone del Mobile, the furniture fair in Milan. “Concepts by Braida” has supplied chairs, 2 seater beam seatings and stacking tables meant to furnish the restaurant’s dehor, which is located in the very center of the square “Piazza Città di Lombardia”.

Colorful armchairs reflecting the ease of the fifties and sixties
“Restaurant Arcona Living”
For the bar stools “Concepts by Braida” has started almost from scratch. The armchairs’ vintage style has been inspired by the bar stool Danyel from the collection Opera. The legs have been produced in bleached oak wood with a footrest in chromed metal rod. The plastic seat upholstered with polyurethane foam has been covered with fabrics chosen by the customer.
Also for the bar stools, the customer has asked “Concepts by Braida” to produce some pieces with a non-standard height.
With the Bespoke service, “Concepts by Braida” aims to satisfy exactly this kind of specific requests, even with a small number of pieces.
