13.10 Restaurant

Once again, HDsurface becomes part of an original project that stems from the encounter of two different worlds, that of cuisine and that of interior design, each reflecting the characteristics of the other: this rendezvous of style and creativity came true with a new restaurant on the outskirts of Milan named “13.10”, designed by Serena Confalonieri.

An exclusive place designed to welcome guests in a warm and informal ambience where colour, refined furnishings and custom-made objects coexist. The space reflects the designer’s signature style in a soft, delicate colour palette inspired by the elements of nature and reflected in the dishes of chef Marcello Passoni.

Amongst the protagonists of this context are the surfaces of HDsurface’s Argille collection, one of the latest proposals under the banner of sustainability, used for walls and ceilings in different colours created from a mixture of coloured earths and oxides, ranging from pink, beige, green, grey to white. Argille is an all-natural trowelled coating created by blending clay, plant cellulose fibre, natural lime and micronised marble powder. 

Easily spread onto vertical surfaces, this coating transforms the action of human hands into a decorative effect, and its granular composition creates richly wrinkled surfaces that transform reflected light into a suffused gleam. A coating with a strong yet subtle character, Argille has a variable and customisable appearance, which can be modified through the laying process, and induces the visitor to retrace with his or her own hands the movements of those who applied it. With a surface irregular in appearance and thickness, the Argille coating is pleasantly porous and velvety to the touch, and embraces and brings warmth to the interiors. 

A totally breathable material, clay has been used since antiquity thanks to its intrinsic properties which enable it to naturally regulate the temperature and humidity of the rooms where it is applied. The product’s natural performances thus combine with the masterly skill of HDsurface in the creation of innovative surfaces that are able to shape the character of interiors through the vibrant colour variations of authentic matter.
