FAQ
What is Madison and how is it built?
Madison is a professional bar furnishing programme by Frigomeccanica, built on the "Alukuadro" metal structure in stainless steel and treated aluminium. It covers the full range of counter and display-case modules in the Frigomeccanica catalogue and offers extensive customisation of materials and colours. It is a modular system suited to coffee shops, cafés, patisseries, wine bars, lounge bars and pubs.
Which style interpretations does the collection offer?
Madison comes in seven fit-outs: Tobacco Bar, Industrial, Lunch Bar, Wine Bar, Sweet & Bar, City Bar and Flute Bar. They share the same modular structure but differ in wood finishes, colours and mood, from the warm vintage of Tobacco to the raw character of Industrial, through to the Art Déco elegance of Flute. The same programme adapts to very different concepts and clientele.
What types of venue is Madison suited to?
Madison is designed for the bar in the broadest sense: coffee shop and breakfast service, lunch bars and pubs, wine bars and aperitifs, patisserie and sweet bar, right through to the everyday city venue of City Bar and the Art Déco lounge of Flute. Its versatile, multi-faceted structure suits both urban and other settings, day and evening.
What finishes are available for the counter front panel?
The front panel can be specified in a wide range of finishes: the wood-effect options Rovere Shabby, Rovere Grigio, Old Forest, Quercia, Amazzonia, Rovere Polare, Sea Wood, Belgrado, Noce Virginia and Tobacco; the textured effects Murales, Mineral Stone, Rust and Malta Grigia; the Vetro Flute Bianco fluted glass; plus laminates of your choice for bespoke combinations.
Which materials can be chosen for the counter-top?
The serving counter-tops are in engineered quartz, available in Metropolis Beige, Metropolis Brown, Metropolis Dark, Nero Anticato, Nero Notte Lucido, Polar White and Doge (marble base). A Corian worktop is also available as an option, valued for its clean lines and ease of cleaning and maintenance.
How are the back panel and surrounds customised?
The back panel and its surround come in White, Black or the same material as the front panel, the latter for the panel only. The front surround can be specified in White, Black or Brass. Surrounds and panels can incorporate lighting, enhancing the wood tones and the display of products along the back bar.
How does the Flute fit-out differ from the others?
Flute is the Art Déco evolution of Madison: minimalist forms combined with sumptuous finishes in glass, brass and marble. The relief Flute glass counter has brass-plated metal surrounds, is easy to clean and maintain, and can take every accessory in the catalogue. Worktops and serving counter-tops are available in stainless steel or marble.
Can the fit-out be made to measure?
Yes, Madison is built for customisation. Its modular nature allows extensive combinations of materials and colours, including laminates of your choice. Materials and variants can be selected directly at the Frigomeccanica production facilities, working alongside the company's craftsmen and designers to define the configuration best suited to your venue.
Which display cases can be combined with Madison counters?
Drop-in display cases can be integrated in cold, hot or dual-function versions, aligned with the counter-top, alongside deep, well-lit refrigerated display cases for product presentation. The Just showcase is also available, with illuminated frames that highlight every item. Madison includes all the counter and display-case modules in the Frigomeccanica catalogue.
How is lighting handled in the system?
Lighting is available as an option and integrates at several points, in particular within the back panel surrounds and the display cases. It enhances the wood finishes, the shelves and the display of products and bottles along the back bar, contributing to the atmosphere of the different fit-outs.
What heights should I allow for the counter modules?
The technical sheet gives some reference heights for the system: configurations with a back panel of roughly 250 and 255 cm, with worktops at around 92 and 100 cm, and counter modules of 95 and 100 cm in height. For the full footprint and dimensions of your project, it is best to request the dimensional sheet for the individual modules.
What is the Alukuadro structure?
Alukuadro is the load-bearing metal structure of the Madison programme, made of stainless steel and treated aluminium with a matt black finish. It is the element that gives the product its distinctive character and makes possible the high level of modularity and the wide customisation of materials and colours across the whole collection.
Where is Madison manufactured and what certifications does it hold?
