La Micológica x Garnica: Transforming spaces with style and sustainability

In gastronomic interior design, natural and sustainable materials are increasingly valued. Plywood, in addition to providing warmth and style, offers practical solutions such as acoustic improvement, making it an ideal ally for spaces where the sensory experience makes all the difference.

• Design inspiration

The La Micológica Gastronomic Society had been struggling for years with an outdated image and acoustic problems that affected the experience of members and visitors. The challenge was clear: to renovate the spaces in a modern and welcoming way, using natural and local materials.

Garnica's Elegance Maple varnished board was the perfect solution: a single material capable of transforming every corner, combining aesthetics, functionality and sustainability.

• The project

The refurbishment covered the society's three dining rooms and TV room, using exclusively 18 mm Elegance Maple varnished plywood. Each space was worked on differently to adapt to its architecture and improve the acoustics:

• TV room: curved and perforated panels, following the shape of the vaulted ceiling, showcasing the natural beauty of the plywood while absorbing sound.
• Dining room no. 3: 1.20 m x 12 cm boards glued together to increase thickness, arranged radially from the centre, adapting to the curvature of the ceiling.
• Dining room no. 1: transverse arrangement with broken lines that follow the vault, creating dynamism and modernity.
• Dining room no. 2: 200 x 2400 mm boards placed with small misalignments, revealing the edges and adding texture and character.

As a unifying element, the walls were clad with the same plywood in 600 mm format, interspersed with 60 mm dark strips that reinforce the verticality and clarity of the finish, providing elegance and visual continuity throughout the space.

• Results

The project transformed the clubhouse into a modern, welcoming and functional space. Each dining room retains its identity, but all are perceived as part of a harmonious whole. Thanks to the varnished Elegance Maple plywood, a perfect balance between design, functionality and sustainability was achieved. The response from members and visitors has been excellent, highlighting the warmth, style and innovation of the project.
