Caramella in Las Vegas

There is a new restaurant in Las Vegas called Caramella. And the design is a lot of fun to behold. Created by Fettle Design with locations in both London and Los Angeles, the team looked to another place and time for inspiration. Their site describes it best: "We developed unique individual spaces inspired by the music genre of the late ‘70s Italo Disco, that capture the escapist, playful spirit of the Italian ‘70s." And I can absolutely see it.

Guests enter through an archway and pass by a classic pasticceria (Italian sweetshop) before entering the restaurant itself. Slathered with lots of red, leopard, and 70s motifs like Missoni-like flame stitch upholstery and a disco ball DJ booth in the hidden speakeasy, the space feels energizing. I want to have pasta and cannoli, and then dance all night at the bar to anything produced by Giorgio Moroder (preferably "I Feel Love" or "Rumor has It" by Donna Summer!).

Your barber will see you now, right this way...

Gentlemen,...and why not ladies too,...imagine having your hair cut and for the men, beard trimmed at the incredible Eredi Zucca in Milan, founded in 1652. Located at Via Bigli, 6, 20121, the Neo-Classical interiors feature ebonized paneled walls, intricate mosaic floors, coffered ceilings, large plaster portrait medallions, and only three private care areas with luxurious green velvet barber chairs. They sell hair, body, and beard care products through their site (although delivery to the US is probably suspended due to the current confusion of bizarre, whimsical tariffs). I really love the wunderkammer (German, meaning "wonder cabinet") or cabinet of curiosities on their homepage where they display wares amongst treasures both natural and man-made. Gorgeous!
