campana studio’s design starts from the façade, with the front gate crafted from aluminum and accented with brazilian cobogó brick – a material typically employed for ventilation and shade. during the day time, this gate transitions into canopy over a peaceful area situated between the store front and sidewalk; decorated with climbing plants and benches, this offers customers and passersby a place to rest.

the interior is characterized by its natural, earthy palette, illustrated in the continued use of cobogó brick seen in the walls, ceiling, flooring, counter-tops and product displays. a graphic effect is created from the brick and at the same time, forms a complement to the concrete counter-tops and the main sink area.
