An old industrial warehouse in the city of Copenhagen houses Alchemist, a two-star Michel restaurant. Designed by London-based Studio Duncalf, it spread across a series of rooms, each one with a different atmosphere, that allow a sensory journey that merges the visual arts, theatre and gourmet exploration.
Bagnara took part in the project and provided its natural stones that embellish the rooms and perfect match with the other elements. Brazilian Brown Silk quartzite is one of the defining elements, with its characteristic brownish tone and an unmistakable flowing, linear pattern from the vein cut. When a crosscut is used for this same quartzite, its appearance changes significantly as the roundish rock pockets become particularly prominent, leading to it being called Moonrock, for obvious reasons. Both cuts were used in the project for the kitchen, while Sicilian Grigio Billiemi marble was chosen for the tabletops in the dining area.
Both materials, food safe by their nature, guarantee a totally safety as the company takes great care during its processing phases and uses food-safe resin. Moreover they really add a sense of elegant discretion to this ground-breaking and visually stunning ambience.
