Maaemo has a minimal yet atmospheric interior with charcoal grey walls, although dark wood floors, panelling and tables add warmth to the space. All its Spisolini chairs are a bespoke version of the original design – including arms which are 3cm wider, rendering them suitable for the indulgent dining experience offered by Maaemo. Spisolini, which pairs a contemporary slimline, tubular frame cushioned at the back, seat and arms with squashy upholstery, is ideal as a dining chair, given its relatively narrow width and deep seat, the latter conducive to unhurried, postprandial conversation. The mid-century modern-inspired design is a clever hybrid of an armchair and a dining chair; it crosses the boundary between functional and recreational seating.
