Canadian design firm Atelier Zébulon Perron has recently completed the ‘Gentile Pizza Parlour‘ in Montreal, Quebec, whose interior has a striking tile design.

Inspired by the family legacy, the new restaurant’s original concept pays tribute to the classic pizzerias of the 70s and 80s in New York City, balancing retro and contemporary elements to create a chic and colloquial space, with a strong identity.
