After the success of our previous collaboration on Alhambar, the client approached us once again—this time with a new challenge: to bring to life the vision of their architect for a bar and bistro in a truly exceptional location, right in the heart of the city and overlooking the banks of the Rhône. With a menu inspired by Mediterranean flavors, the concept called for a space that felt both refined and welcoming. We handled the executive design and oversaw the production of all custom-made elements, as well as the selection and installation of free-standing furnishings, ensuring that every detail aligned perfectly with the original vision.

Key points
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
We carefully studied the project in order to define a budget, which we then presented to both the client and the architect. From there, we proposed a series of solutions aimed at respecting the client’s budget without compromising the architect’s concept.
This process required a thorough analysis of materials, construction details, and manufacturing techniques, ensuring that both aesthetic and functional goals were met.
COMPLETE FIT OUT AND INSTALLATION
At the heart of the project is a custom-designed bar that serves as the focal point of the main space. The interiors are enriched with elegant boiserie covering most of the vertical surfaces, and bespoke perforated panels with circular patterns that act as interior brise-soleils along the windows.
To guarantee both timing and quality for a project located in the very center of Geneva, our technical team and installation specialists worked with great attention to detail at every stage. Careful planning, meticulous detailing, and precise execution allowed us to complete the installation on schedule and without issues.
CONCEPT
Overlooking the tranquil banks of the Rhône River, in the vibrant heart of Geneva, Riverside is much more than just a restaurant – it’s a sensory experience that blends flavor, design, and atmosphere. The concept was born from the desire to bring the soul of the Mediterranean into the city, creating a harmonious dialogue between the culinary offering and the space itself. The color palette instantly evokes Mediterranean landscapes, as does the interior design. Palm-patterned wallpaper adds an exotic, holiday-inspired touch, while orange lamps cast a warm, enveloping glow that creates a sense of intimacy and welcome. Wood was chosen to introduce natural warmth and visual continuity with the surrounding environment, while Corian inserts add a contemporary, refined accent, ensuring both functionality and durability. A central feature of the project is the collection of custom-made elements, entirely crafted by our team. The result is an iconic space where design meets flavor, and the landscape becomes an integral part of the experience. Riverside is a new destination in Geneva—an invitation to escape, to indulge in elegance, and to share in convivial moments at the heart of the city.
Project challenge
Time is everything
In every project, the furniture elements are typically the last to step into the construction site. Our client, already confident in our flexibility and ability to adapt, approached us with a clear goal: to find innovative solutions that would allow the complete renovation and reopening of the venue just in time for the spring season in Geneva. Understanding the importance of timing and quality, our team worked closely with all parties involved to streamline processes and ensure every detail was executed flawlessly. Thanks to careful planning, effective communication, and dedicated effort, we were able to meet the deadline without compromising on design or functionality. Once again, we successfully delivered a refreshed and vibrant space ready to welcome guests for the new season.
