abboCCa is an Italian bistro in Beijing. Large sculptural concrete platforms in the front patio work as an urban stage inviting to enter. A white curved diagonal ceiling, bright orange resin on floor and a touch of olive-green colour for both wine displays and food shelves define the internal space, specifically designed to convey a joyful atmosphere and feeling of being together. The bistro is located on the ground floor of a former office and industrial building complex from the 70’ies that has been recently turned into a creativity hub. The warm sense of southern Italy has been evoked both physically, with the use of long masonry benches, and visually, with colours reminding to a typical courtyard orchard with orange and olive trees.
