AQUAZZURA opens first ever Aquazzura Bar in Rome at Hotel de Russie

Luxury shoemaker AQUAZZURA has partnered with Hotel de Russie in Rome for the opening of the very first Aquazzura Bar. The aesthetic is inspired by the Aquazzura Casa Secret Garden tableware collection which evokes the Dolce Vita lifestyle and brings a touch of the Italian Riviera to the country’s capital via striped umbrellas and a tiled bar hand-painted with lemon motifs.

Conceived by design studio Casa do Passadiço, the bar features metal outdoor furniture with tufted chairs and comfy sofas. Green trelliswork and lemon trees in striped planters add to the space. “I have always been passionate about interiors and hosting,” said Aquazzura’s founder Edgardo Osorio. “To me, hosting is an act of love — you create an experience for your guests, from the music to the food, to how the table is set. It has always been a dream of mine to translate the world of Aquazzura into a hospitality space.”
