Wire mesh adds ambience
An award-winning steakhouse, Carnevino,
was looking to make an immediate
impression for diners at its newest location
in Hong Kong.
The goal was to create a high-end luxury
steakhouse accented with details inspired
from vintage racing motifs. To turn this vision
into reality, Carnevino’s designers utilized
wire mesh from Banker Wire, to provide the
décor key metal finishes to fit perfectly with
the race-inspired machine aesthetic.
Banker Wire’s DS-1, SZ-4 and IPZ-25 mesh
styles were chosen for this project and used
throughout the restaurant as a background
accent material for stone, metal and leather
paneling.
“Creating a warm, inviting ambience is a
top priority for Carnevino and plays a huge
part in providing its guests with the ultimate
dining experience,” said Cliff Lin, senior
designer at New York-based architectural
firm AvroKO, which oversaw the project.
“We chose Banker Wire mesh due to
its quality and reputation as a leading
manufacturer of unique wire materials.”
“The versatility of wire mesh makes it a
perfect accent material,” said Harrison
Horan, VP of Banker Wire. “By utilizing three
different wire meshes at its new Hong Kong
location, diners will enjoy a unique visual
experience that will set Carnevino apart
from other restaurants in the area.”
