RIAD YACOUT: THE MAGIC OF THE EAST IN MILAN

In the heart of Milan, there is an open space offers emotion, hospitality and harmony that mix with gold, bronze and copper. An amazing location, reconstruction at the incredible splendor and luxurious residences desired and lived by the Moroccan nobility in the Medine. An unquestionably oriental charm, where culture melts and mixes between flavors and aromas that know of a fairy tale that lives suspended between myth and reality. A 360 ° journey that makes you live like inside a Bollywood film. Wind dance performances included. We are talking about the Milanese scenic setting Riad Yacout.

The architecture and inspiration to open this place derives from a trip to these oriental lands of the owner Antonio Moscara and of the architect friend Carratta who wanted to recreate also in Italy in an exclusive, welcoming, comfortable, innovative and tasteful Maghreb ethnic environment. The open space is divided on three levels where shadows, glass, ceramics and water in perpetual movement create plays of light. A transparent glass staircase connects the three floors and leads to the cigar room “Salle Imperiale“, the restaurant room reserved for smokers. An exclusive carefully furnished living room, embellished with a cedar wood wardrobe entirely inlaid with ivory, a fireplace and a fountain with running water, embellished with a mosaic.
