Aloha Espresso Bar
Standing as the main centrepiece, the counter has a
meandering shape that is a unique interpretation of
the “aloha” sign that the hand makes. Its intentionally
rough appearance brings humorously to mind the
clumsiness of the apprentice handyman. “Jean wanted
to ensure that the life-experiences of people were
felt in the space. We gave him carte blanche and we
do not regret it,” comments Andreï Vulpé, one of the
owners. Overlooking the counter, the pergola provides
an astounding contextual reading: the carefully
carved elements that are part of the structure are a
simple representation of the archipelago flora and
the petroglyphs etched in stone and lava. A gustative,
decorative and equally instructive itinerary not to be
missed!
