Zola Bistro

Zola Bistro

Zola Bistro provides a fresh take on material expression combining raw, industrial steel with warm, American walnut details reflecting the bistro’s rust belt context. The original cafe’s brick walls are reinterpreted as a wooden “brick” screen. This mortar-less wall undulates and calibrates to balance desired lighting and provides a dynamic backdrop. The final configuration of the wall, and varied spacing of the bricks, allows the wall to augment both front lighting during the day and back lighting at night.
