Sip, shop, savor: where olives become experiences

Limited investment, maximum results: that is how we redesigned a restaurant to an exquisite olive oil shop and bar where quality is experienced with each taste and in every touchpoint.

An olive oil sommelier’s dream store with an aperitivo and wine bar and bespoke design elements from entrance to exit.

Frantoiani

It’s not every day that an olive oil sommelier and supplier asks us to design an experience-infused shop-meets-wine-and-tapas-bar. But if it’s something we haven’t done before, we like to think we can pull it off, so we eagerly shook hands and created Frantoiani, a unique place in Mechelen where a passion for food, drinks, authentic products, pure olive oil, and Italian panache come together.

Clever space planning and on-brand experience

We started with clever space planning to lead customers through the store to the bar and immersed them in bespoke, on-brand, and on-theme wall art, signage, and infographics. We teamed up with Helbig from Kortrijk for the modular rack systems, which are finished with olive wood laminate.
