Dash Kitchen restaurant and lounge bar is all set for success; a rustic atmosphere, an interesting back-story, a very cool location, and a vast selection of craft beers to accompany delicious dishes. The restaurant recently opened its doors in Torino’s San Salvario neighborhood, inside an ex-print shop. Much of the interior was intentionally left in its raw form, and it tells the story of the structure’s industrial past. One can almost imagine the printing press noises filling the same space where today, people enjoy a snack or libation in company. The architect Fabio Fantolino was responsible for the project, and sought to marry an industrial spirit to details from the 70’s.

The cement pavement and walls are the perfect base for the metal bar and leather, velvet and colourful fabric seating. The various areas are divided without being closed-off: the sitting areas have armchairs and low tables, divided by metal poles that create privacy without blocking the view, and the internal lounge has massive cuts of red marble. Dash Kitchen is proof that a place with personality needs no special effects. Raw is better!

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
