Cento The Hospitality House

What the client needed

Cento is a no-frills Italian eatery with a big heart—honest, cozy, and quietly confident. The brief was simple: craft a space that feels like home. One that reflects the restaurant’s approach to food and service—humble yet thoughtful, raw yet refined.

Our solution

We created a warm, intimate atmosphere using vintage-inspired dimming and understated detailing. A palette of soft, neutral tones is gently animated by a warm dim LED system—offering the nostalgic feel of incandescent light, with the energy efficiency of modern tech.

As part of a sustainable design approach, we reused the lighting control system from the previous venue—reducing costs and e-waste without compromising on flexibility or control.

From softly lit dining corners to filtered views between spaces, the lighting enhances the layered interior and encourages quiet discovery. A relaxed, unpretentious setting, designed to let the food and conversation shine.
