Ginori 1735 writes a new chapter in its story, introducing Café Ginori, a bespoke project that continues the expansion of the Italian fine porcelain maison into the lifestyle world. Bold and elegant, playful and sophisticated, Café Ginori is a harmonious and entirely innovative combination of Italian hospitality with the rich tradition and exceptional craftsmanship of porcelain. Reflecting the atmosphere of the Ginori 1735 flagship boutiques, the textiles and furnishings of the Domus home decor collection create the elegant setting of Café Ginori at Bergdorf Goodman, mixing the iconic motifs of the Brand in elegant and refined combinations. Throughout the Café, the signatures of Ginori 1735 are in focus, from the Oriente Italiano wallpaper to the embroidered textiles used on cushions, pillows, and chairs from the brand's Domus home collection.
At the heart of Café Ginori at Bergdorf Goodman, there is the Art of Plating, a unique approach that rewrites the rules of the mise en place. With meticulous attention to detail and a profound appreciation for beauty, every dish is a harmonious combination of fine porcelain and culinary art. The opening of Café Ginori at Bergdorf Goodman is the latest addition to the retailer's stable of iconic restaurants, each delivering a distinctive point-of-view. For lunch, the entire table setting consists of mixed and matched colors of the Oriente Italiano collection. A cream-colored beetroot risotto, once mixed at the table, transforms into a vivid pink hue and is set against a complementary rose-colored print plate. Modern takes on classics such as Eggplant Parmigiana, Beef Carpaccio, Veal Ragù Tagliatelle, as well as entrée salads like the Insalata Lobster with frisée, endive, capers and a lemon parsley emulsion will also be available.
As teatime transitions to the Italian time-honored aperitivo, light dishes and refreshing cocktails, such as the Ginori 1735, an aperitif-based homage to the Italian seaside, will be served. The plating focus shifts to the sophisticated Labirinto collection, created nearly one hundred years ago by Gio Ponti, helping the mood of the space to transform, and become a uniquely celebratory afterwork destination. Throughout the Café, the signatures of Ginori 1735 are in focus, from the Oriente Italiano wallpaper to the embroidered textiles used on cushions, pillows, and chairs from the brand's Domus home collection. Additionally, all Ginori 1735 items in the Café will be available for sale in the recently opened brand shop on the Seventh Floor.
