Formafatal: Gran Fierro

For this Argentinean restaurant in Prague Formafatal combines industrial and retro features with a touch of South America, blending the colors of iron, leather, wood and cerulean tiles.

A new Argentinean restaurant was opened in mid-December 2014 in the center of Prague, in a functionalistic travertine-panelled building in Vorsilska street.

The owner of the restaurant, Juan Cruz Pacin from Buenos Aires, decided to bring a piece of Argentina to the heart of Europe.

Architects Dagmar Štěpánová and Katarína Varsová from the studio Formafatal, who designed the interior, divided the space into two main parts, each in different elevation. Well-lighted area at the entrance is dominated by a bar in the center, while at the back you will find a more intimate area with tables, a chill-out zone with armchairs and a lounge. Entering the restaurant you can immediately see the kitchen and chefs. All the features are linked up with patina wood tables, shelving systems from metal reinforcing bars and upholstery made of real Argentinean belts.
