Bisos tapas bar
A couple of days ago, the owner of the Sardinian bistro Ichnusa opened a new tapas bar. It is called Bisos and can be found in Žižkov, close to the Prague Economic University. Antonello Pranteddu, the owner, characterized the place as a Mediterranean tapas bar with a small kitchen offering wines, cheese and other delicatesses from Sardinia.
Located on the ground-floor of a house developed at the turn of the 20th century, the interior of the Sardinian tapas bar Bisos was designed in the spirit of contemporary rustic minimalism using just a few basic materials and with a front view wall featuring a distinctive graphic effect. To a great extent, the entrance part is defined by a black wine rack that serves as a sort of a steel partition embracing a cosy seating nook in the corner of the room. Furnishing of the main area is determined by its layout and, therefore, spreads out along the walls and windows. A bar with a tailor-made refrigeration cabinet is located on one side, while the opposite side features a long ash bench with a black plinth spreading just beneath high windows. The choice of materials was the same as with the massive tables with black plinths.
Contrasting to the relatively light-coloured ash wood is the dark cladding of the bar where the novel hue of the restored metal was achieved by exposing rusted steel to tannin. Steel racks serving as storage space on the wall behind the bar and between the windows on the opposite side were treated using the same technology.
The required practicality and black-and-white colour style were met by chairs and counter stools Lottus by Spanish manufacturer Enea Design.
Original lighting was preserved at the entrance part, while an exceptional asymmetric Kao light fitting by Artemide was installed in the main room to illuminate also historical stucco.
The space is dominated by photos of a mountain scenery with the Bisos logotype and the text of one of the Sardinian most popular folk love songs called Non potho reposare. Also Orbace fabrics used for cushions on benches, place mats and covers of menus and inspiring the look of the Bisos’ logo refer significantly to Sardinia. With a distinctive black-and-white pattern, this traditional woollen fabric was widely used by Sardinian peasants. The interior was designed by Barbora Léblová.
