Zolaism Café

The philosophy behind the Zolaism brand – derived from admiration of natural beauty – is the motif of the project for its new store in Aranya

The new café designed by B.L.U.E. is conceived as a respite from the fast pace of the city. Drawing inspiration from nature, this small retreat – artificial nature in the middle of the community square – arises from a desire to reconnect with all the emotions that so much rationality and constant analysis have buried.

Attached to an old cinema, the building is lifted by huge rocks of natural forms that act as pillars, holding up a large overhanging roof. The three other facades, with their curtain walls, define a space that integrates enterior and interior. The resulting organic floorplan gives the sense of the fluid and calm that the project pursues.
