SHOREDITCH, GET READY.
THIS MAY, VICTORIA ARDUINO BRINGS THE HEAT. TWO DAYS OF CULTURE, LIFESTYLE AND CAFFEINATED VIBES .
Victoria Arduino joins friends and event sponsors Standart Magazine, Hardlines Coffee, Minor Figures and Perfect Ted to bring a two-day immersive pop-up event to Shoreditch this May 16-17.
Caffè Italiano is an immersive experience that combines design, innovation, and coffee culture in a unique sensory environment. By day, it’s a relaxing coffee or matcha. By night, the volume turns up, there are cocktails, live performances and lots of energy. London’s coffee scene reinvented.
Victoria Arduino’s pop-up was created with the aim of reinterpreting Italian tradition through one of London’s most vibrant trends: vintage with a modern twist. This is the essence of Caffè Italiano-a format that breathes new life into tradition, where the Italian soul meets the cosmopolitan spirit of London.
It is a creative space that evokes nostalgia while offering a fresh, contemporary perspective.
Design, fashion, music, interiors, art – and of course, coffee – come together to create a multi-sensory experience that blends style and culture in a unique and timely way.
For us, design has always been at the heart of everything we do. Caffè Italiano is the perfect time to showcase the passion and creativity behind our work – bringing the community together to explore and celebrate Victoria Arduino’s design evolution: a tribute to heritage and timeless beauty.
Design and storytelling. A journey through design, past, present and future.
The common thread of the event is the fusion of past and future. Step back in time to enjoy an espresso in a lively Italian Cafe environment. Chat with friends over coffee or indulge in an affogato on a sunny afternoon, surrounded by classic and timeless furniture, machinery, interiors and music.
You can soak up the atmosphere at the 1970s espresso counter, capture content in a Mid-Century Modern-inspired area of Standard Magazine, or take home a memento of the day from a vintage Fotoautomatica machine. At the event, you’ll have the chance to see a Super 8 film produced by Standart Magazine in collaboration with Victoria Arduino, set in a 1970s-inspired reading nook.
