DUMBO is a place created to offer a gourmet burger service, an alternative to the proposal of the places in the nearby Corso Sempione, it is a more secluded place with a more intimate atmosphere.
The interior design project, as well as the lighting project, favored the choice of materials, colors and finishes with an international flavor, without sacrificing the refined elegance of some details, such as the counter for the preparation of cocktails and aperitifs, with a Milanese and somewhat retro feel. DUMBO was born to become the bar under the house, the bistro where you can have a “little beer” with friends or where you can enjoy lunch and dinner in a cozy and intimate setting.
The furnishings are basic but different from each other: an upholstered bench for longer stops, wooden tables, metal and leather chairs with a New York flair for a medium break, and an area with a high table and stools, which can be separated thanks to an iridescent curtain and become private dining for a surprise aperitif. The walls of the venue have been left unfinished or covered with custom-made graphics, contrasting sharply with other more glossy, cooler finishes, such as the large mirror placed in the counter side and the petroleum-colored tile covering of the private dining area. Soundproofing and ceiling fixtures also retain the “unfinished” character, focusing on contrasting vintage pendant lighting and corrugated sheet metal (also oil-colored) lining a portion of the walls around the custom-designed bar.
DUMBO opened in early 2020, has been able to re-invent itself thanks to the explosion of home deliveries, but is waiting for the chance to go back to the beer in company, to get together and enjoy its international atmosphere in person.
DUMBO was inaugurated in early 2020
