Unique Restaurant Millwork

Si restaurant was a creative project in 2007 where wood brought to life in a very small space. Fitting the tiny space with off the shelf tables and chairs would have severely limited the function, and profitability of the restaurant. The owner approached us for assistance, seeking architectural help to build a space with a warm and comfortable atmosphere and a fluid layout to allow servers and waitresses to work smoothly. At it’s center, in the horizontal layout the architect designed a kidney-shaped table as a high-top that could seat any larger parties or family dining but needed confidence that we could make a structure strong enough while saving space. Massive large turnings became the legs. Standard height tables line the back wall and we increased seating capacity by forming a bench the complete length. Hard to notice in these photos but the bench seat turns the edge with a solid bent plywood showcasing the grain.

Wood Grain Theme

The natural wood grain brought a unified theme and saved on cost. The central visual flourish at the center incorporates the wine rack. Adding large circles to contrast all the straight lines, as well as confound the eye as to the method of construction, gave the space a bold and memorable arc. Two dark grain grain relics are held up creating a tension and mystery while delighting the eye as it travels up. The community table stands on hand turned solid legs, showcasing a rare grain profile but pragmatically saving floor space to make the small space appear larger. All the millwork showcased an end grain texture, lending the tabletop a distinct appearance divergent from traditional restaurant tables that was unheard of in 2007, and all the rage now.

Design Collaboration

Other practical pieces aren’t seen in the pictures. For example to ensure customer turnover, crucial for the restaurant’s survival in such a confined space, we opted not to include cushions on the seats; excessively comfortable seating might encourage patrons to linger for extended periods. In choosing Gepetto as your supplier, you get to work directly with me and can rely on me to collaborate with you for uninque presentation, as well as cost saving ideas that come directly from 20+ years of shop management experience.

Rustic Design

The rustic ideal and design theme were desired in this project to attract the weekender tourists from the Washington DC, Baltimore, and Richmond metro areas spend an accessible and enjoyable weekend at a nice countryside bed and breakfast or tour the local wineries near Charlottesville VA. The reclaimed barn wood facing used on the bar was taken from a barn not twelve miles from the restaurant’s location. Defined, rustic style is a design emphasis on rugged, natural beauty. It embraces nature-inspired textures, simple and earthy colors, and ultimately an unpretentious, organic warmth. Rustic style proves the old adage that everything comes full circle. Our pioneer ancestors would get a good laugh out of how fashionable the look is today — they probably dreamed of plastered walls instead of rough logs and carpets instead of bare plank floors. But thanks to rustic style’s unpretentious roots, organic textures and shapes, and natural warmth, it’s become as popular in the heart of the city as it is out in the woods. Rustic interiors derive their warmth and heart from the sense of history and simplicity they evoke. They have a rough-hewn charm that appeals to us in this era of slick technology and manufactured materials. Not to say they lack innovation, though—the make-do spirit that spawned rustic style persists, resulting in one-of-a-kind objects repurposed in delightful ways.

Hardwood Craftsmanship

Gepetto Craftsmen finished out the bar design to serve both the drinking patrons and also the speed and accessibility of the staff serving the drinks day in and day out. The L shaped bar with service corner helps separate the bar area from the seated dining area. Our commitment to solid wood as a craft shows through in every polished inch of the bartop surface! A proprietary mix of curing, polishing and chemical finishes builds a deep luster on top of the gorgeous wood grain that you won’t hesitate to serve, spill or clean on top of.
