When architecture takes the stage” focused on the Teatro Ariston bar renovation as a concrete case study of working within an iconic space while preserving its identity.

In conversation with interior designer Andrea Rocchi and Walter Vacchino, owner of Teatro Ariston, we retraced the evolution of the project — from the initial listening phase to the definition of materials, lighting and spatial flows, through to the realization of ISA’s bespoke bar furnishings.

The day was shaped by key moments: the live dialogue, Terry Monroe’s mixology demo inspired by the Sanremo concept, and direct exchanges with professionals and guests. A tangible experience where architecture, product expertise and hospitality culture converged within the same space.
