The design of our Texan/Italian caffe` relies on the tactile and visual richness of materials typical of the Italian tradition blended with the use of metal work characteristic of East Texas. Carrara marble dialogs with earthy ceramic colors and elegant mahogany while the intense natural light is filtered and subdued by the use of saturated colors and screens. The ceiling is a landscape in itself with soft edges and changes of depth in which light mutes continuously. The cafe is reminiscent of the wonderful coffee bars found all over Italy, with a bit of Texas flair.
