How the Mandarin Oriental Milan’s new Duomo Private Dining Room by Fornasetti was inspired by Italian art
The hotel’s two Michelin-starred restaurant Seta has a custom-designed private dining room where guests can enjoy special Italian dishes inspired by Italian artwork
Mandarin Oriental Milan opens the doors to its exclusive private dining room by Fornasetti. A complement to the hotel’s custom-designed Fornasetti Suite, the new Duomo Private Dining Room is at the hotel’s two Michelin-starred Seta.
Named after Duomo Sommerso, an artwork based on founder and artist Piero Fornasetti’s surreal and ethereal 1951 illustration depicting the famed cathedral under water, the private space is also accented by decorative plates from Cupole d’Italia series of reproductions, and furnishings decorated with early 20th-century drawings of legendary beauty and soprano Lina Cavalieri. The ceiling boasts a cloud motif through Nuvolette wallpaper by Cole & Son, designed by Fornasetti creative director Barnaba Fornasetti.
The new dining room seats eight for bespoke food and wine events. Seta’s executive chef, Antonio Guida, celebrates the occasion with a special dish inspired by the room: risotto with oyster, caviar and wood sorrel, reflecting the elegance of the interior.
