Inspired by the architectural attributes of Penone's work and the effects of the contrasting elements on the Ponte Vecchio, Cafe Penone spawns a luxurious and warm atmosphere. Direct inspiration from Penone is actualized through the branch installation in the ceiling along with the tree sculpture. The inspiration drawn from the Ponte Vechhio is reflected in the contrast of hard and soft, industrial and old. On the Ponte Vecchio the striking gold glitters against the old wood and wrought iron. Within the cafe, bare light bulbs shine against the concrete flooring and gold foiled leather tiled wall.
