May - June 2022

ARAKU COFFEE IS THE PRODUCT OF OVER TWO DECADES OF WORK BY THE NA NDI FOUNDATION. AND ITS FLAGSHIP CAFÉ BY SHONAN PURIE TREHAN MAKES SUSTAINABILITY LOOK SEXY.

- PRASAD RAMAMURTHY

ARAKU COFFEE

The Bengaluru flagship café of Araku Coffee, a brand that traces its origins back to a tribal fair-trade cooperative from Andhra Pradesh, looks anything but an offshoot of an NGO. It's slick, minimal, and all-white with details that speak a sophisticated design language. It's the handiwork of Studio LAB founder and AD100 designer Shonan Purie Trehan, known for her commitment to sustainability. An ethic that she shares with co-designer Jorge Zapata, founder of the New York-based firm JAZ Architect. "We wanted people to linger, to have a sense of serenity, calmness, and community" says Zapata. Trehan adds, "It wasn't like we were designing an aesthetic. We were designing an experience."
