ABOUT PALMENTO SAN NICOLÒ
“Nestled on a quiet country road in the heart of a vineyard planted on Monte San Nicolo, a volcanic cone dating back approximately 14,000 years, the accommodation includes 2 buildings, a Palmento from 1902 which houses the wine press used for winemaking at the time and its outbuilding which was once used as a tool shed.
The two spaces are united by a corten structure with a slatted roof, which provides a shady open plan kitchen and dining area next to a terrace and 4m x 7m salt water swimming pool, built in lava stone, recreating the the colours of the Etna coastline.
The structure was designed by Ciro, an architect by profession, to provide our guests with a peaceful oasis to relax in the beautiful vineyard with views of the sea to the south east and the summit of Mount Etna to the north west.”

CASE
I Biondi asked for a new logo and identity for Palmento San Nicolò. They wanted the place to be able to “stand on its own”, while still being compatible with the Biondi brand.

LOGO & MANNERISMS
After several sketches, we landed on a semi-abstract illustration of the ceiling over the kitchen and dining space. The long planks of wood bears a similarity to the rays of the sun, casting lovely stripe shaped shadows over the deck.
