The first Zizzi restaurant to be designed by the Fuse team opened its doors in Derby in August 2015. Delivered by Dover Design to a concept by Fuse, the 120 cover restaurant is the newest addition to the Intu Derby Shopping Centre.
The venue uses an eclectic mix of reclaimed materials, assorted pendant lighting and furniture to create a relaxed but fun environment. The kitchen is open to the restaurant and features a pizza oven finished in a very familiar bright green colour! Inspiration for the interior design is drawn from the local surroundings & history of Derby being the birthplace of the industrial revolution & silk mills (Derby had the world’s first mill designed for spinning silk).
Talented & upcoming artist Saroj Patel (click here to discover more of Saroj’s work) has illustrated a mural on two of the walls, playing on these local features with an colourful design of interesting shapes, repeated patterns & graphical lines.
Zizzi Derby Intu is the first of a series of Zizzi venues to be designed by Fuse. Look out for further openings in the coming weeks and months.
Project interior designer was Fusilier Rick ‘Drummer Boy’ Cartwright. Director in charge was Scott ‘Scoot’ Ryalls. Good work boys!
