AJI Milano: The Elegance of Nippo-Asian Design by Costa Interiors and Studio Lai

A Luxury Project in the Heart of Milan

Discover AJI Milano: the sophisticated Nippo-Asian food delivery born from the collaboration between Costa Interiors and Studio Lai. A restaurant combining futuristic design and precious materials.

In the vibrant heart of Milan, where modernity and tradition converge, AJI emerges — the refined Nippo-Asian food delivery and take-away by IYO Milano. This exclusive restaurant, conceived in collaboration with Claudio Liu, the patron of the only Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant in Italy, offers not only a high-quality culinary experience but also an immersion into innovative and futuristic design.

The realization of this project bears the signature of Costa Interiors, who, working side by side with the Maurizio Lai Architecture Studio, translated the aesthetic and functional vision of the venue into a space of strong visual and sensory impact.

Precious Materials for a Sophisticated Design

The AJI Milano project stands out for the use of high-end materials and cutting-edge architectural solutions. Every detail has been carefully crafted to create a dynamic balance between shapes, lights, and surfaces, keeping the minimalist and refined essence of Japanese culture at its core.

Key Design Elements:

• Reception desk: a monolith in white Calacatta marble that welcomes guests with its sculptural and imposing presence.
• Glass pass-through counter: enhanced by semi-gloss metallic profiles, facilitating direct communication between the kitchen and dining area, making the culinary experience even more interactive.
• Bronzed mirrored ceiling: expands the space and creates a striking play of reflections, adding depth to the environment.
• Bronzed metal tubular structures: intersect vertically, adding movement and visual rhythm.
• Full-height wall: crafted with shelves and backlit metallic fabric, blending contemporary aesthetics with functionality.

This palette of materials — marble, glass, metal — embodies the essence of discreet and sophisticated luxury.

The Unique Experience of the Exclusive Table

One of the most distinctive features of AJI Milano is its single table with 10 exclusive seats, accessible by reservation only. An island of conviviality and exclusivity, where the interior design by Costa Interiors harmonizes with the Michelin-starred cuisine of Claudio Liu.

The table’s glossy surface reflects the thoughtfully integrated lighting design solutions, creating a continuous play of light and shadow that evolves throughout the day. The upholstered stools ensure comfort, while the spatial arrangement invites sharing and discovery.

The Winning Collaboration Between Costa Interiors and Studio Lai

The AJI project represents the perfect synergy between design and functionality. Costa Interiors, with its expertise in working with precious materials, actively collaborated with the Maurizio Lai Architecture Studio to create an environment reflecting Milan’s speed and dynamism, without compromising on elegance and sophistication.

This collaboration has given birth to a space that is much more than just a restaurant: AJI is a statement of style, a visual experience that engages and surprises.
