Arte Story

Arte story and a learning journey how Arte evolved from being a French restaurant to wine retail through online e-commerce shop…

Before Arte was born, the owner of Arte, Vincent Tai, firstly established Daiichi Art Space in Feb 2016 at the same premise where Arte was located. The gallery was officiated by Y.A.B. Lim Guan Eng, Chief Minister of Penang on 27 Feb 2016. In conjunction with the opening, about 50 participating artists from 8 countries were present for the international art exhibition.

Top Hygiene Requirements

We began designing Arte interior – our ideal toilet facility before everything else in order to give the most comfortable and hygienic experience. Toto Japan’s electronic bidet with seat warmer and the The Dyson Airblade Wash + Dry hand dryer (Retail price about RM8,000) washes and dries your hands at the sink with Airblade™ technology. The Dyson’s HEPA filter captures up to 99.95% of particles up to 0.3 microns from the washroom air, before it’s blown on to hands. So hands are dried with cleaner air.

“Food is also a form of art, and we felt they complement each other. The idea was to create an atmosphere where people can dine and learn more about art”
