GLOBE CAFÉ - GREEN FEELING
Our point of view is to create a new Green Life Style.
The project and restoration of the Globe Cafè is agood and exclusive opportunity to explain that eco concept  should be presented  at 360° in our life.
The “new” Globe Cafè should become a “manifesto of anew system”, where the architecture, the design, the materials and the food couldbe integrated to generate a final sustainable product ( Globe Cafè). It’simpossible to create a sustainable agriculturalsystem and slow food concept without educating people tosee everything in their natural way.
All that ispresent in ourproject is a part of completely eco-sustainabilitychain of production, only by this way we can get a real ecological system thatwill inspire people for their new life style.
The  architecture and the design of thefurniture  have to create a flexibility system,easily adaptable to the needs of a cafè. Breakfast and lunch time are organizedwith big table in recycled wood and a traditionally but surprising food .During  the evening the cafe could betransformed  in lounge bar with simpletouches. So the atmosphere changes with zero energy. The Globe Cafè becomes aplace where you follow a series of events and culinary and artistic co-creativitystories .
All furnitureare designed with ecological and recycled materials to be transformed indifferent configurations.
A large raised functionalplatform contains all furnishing and become the big base , the roots, of thevertical green wall.
The main entrance and the windows marks the route and introduce  to an innovative space and shows hissensitivity to the issue of ecology and give the feeling of being a part of thewhole system.

 On the otherside  is designed as a place where  the farmers can show their products  and the clients can choose and select their ingredientsor buy some fresh ones. At the same time taking many information about: howthey are grew up , in which areas , energetic and nutritional values and so on.
This kind of information is given by graphicsand video projected on the white wall above product exhibition. That wall is a"tabula rasa"offered notonly to  customers, but also artists whofeel the need to communicate with scientific or artistic way this newphilosophy of life. The intent is to sensitize children and adults, or thosewho are going in the Globe Cafe through various forms of communication. Thegoal is to create a simple emotion and experience to bring home and make a newbeginning in their lifestyle.
It  takes a little effort to live in asustainable world, where the nature and technology should be a whole.
The cafe offers a menu, which is itself a symbol of this osmosis, with 0 milesand seasonal products, where the simplicity of the food is enhanced by uniquerecipes and variable depending on the season and availability. In short, a menuthat adapts to the rhythms of nature, its natural productivity.

Finally we would love this project could tell its story development in order toinvolve end-users.
