Restaurant “OLIVETO”
49 Elizabeth Street, LONDON SW1W 9PP - United Kingdom

..The floor is covered with ordinary tiles of mat granito-grès, broken in three or four pieces in order to obtain a craquelèe pattern. Most pieces of furniture - as like tables, the benches located along the walls, the white maple made bar counter and the bar glazed shelf unit - have been designed and made to measure. A sinusoidal hand-rail made out of a brushed stainless steel profile and a blue partition wall characterised by oval openings and a sinusoidal profile on each landing are the most important features of the staircase leading to the upper floors. On the first level are the ladies’ and gents’ toilets, featuring their graphically inlaid doors and a cladding of white maple plywood, assembled with narrow channel joints according to a sort of De Stijl geometrical pattern, while made to measure brackets support the wash basins’ floating shelves, complemented by taps and accessories designed by Aarne Jacobsen.
