Pietro Catalano
The Catalano family's roots extend from farmers to restaurants over many generations. They’ve chosen to embody the rich experience of family by incorporating the surname into the logo of new Dineology restaurant CAAA.
Pietro Catalano aimed to create a dining experience that transcended mere sustenance, one that celebrated the transalpine essence of cuisine, bridging cultures and flavours. While this vision sounds beautiful, we enhanced
it with additional layers of meaning.

Interior Design
Execution
Through a conceptual/reflective process driven by new technologies, the design process took as its starting point the use of artificial intelligence image generation tools (Midjourney) to explore possible solutions that would advance towards a parametric design proposal. Subsequently, Grasshopper 3D, a plug-in running within the CAD application Rhinoceros 3D, was used to translate these concepts into three-dimensional models. The final result was materialised through 3D printing and physical construction of the design in Switzerland.
LD’s Tasks
Details on the exact arrangement of all equipment in both bars and the prep area, including outlets and wet points, agreed upon with the designer and the client and outlined in the drawings.
