A place where haute cuisine meets design. In the design restaurant Joia in Milan led by chef Pietro Leemann and starred since 1996, the Neve chairs in black-stained ash are the physical transposition of the gastronomic philosophy within the space.
A cooking philosophy aimed at taste but also health where nature is the first source of inspiration. Nature is also reflected in the restaurant hall in which wood and greenery are arranged throughout the room in a systematic way. Joia is, among design restaurants in Milan, a temple of vegetarian cuisine where Porro’s design frames the long list of dishes on the menu.
Inside, a sober and elegant décor fills the space of this restaurant in Milan where Neve, thanks to its strict but soft lines, impeccably interprets the apparent simplicity of the chef’s dishes by transporting purity and authenticity into the physical space.
Neve is a modern version of the classic wooden chair where a sharp, linear structure is contrasted by the roundness of the legs and spindle and the slight curvature of the backrest. An interplay of straight and sinuous lines that soften the seat and make it extremely cozy. A juxtaposition that continues in the use of materials: solid ash for the frame and curved plywood for the seat and back.
Tradition and modernity are just some of the aspects that Neve and Joia have in common, whose dishes draw on the great Italian vegetarian tradition, creating true edible works of art.
There are numerous design restaurants in Milan , and Joia due to its distinctiveness is one of the first on the list.
