Acqua di Parma opens Caffettino pop-up café in Dubai

Acqua di Parma opened the doors to Caffettino, a pop-up café in Bloomingdale's, The Dubai Mall, in September.

This experience celebrates the Italian rituals that infuse Acqua di Parma’s signature Art di Vivere.   

Drawing on her previous work with Acqua di Parma, designer Dorothée Meilichzon has conceived an exceptional space, taking cues from iconic architectural elements and colors to channel the ambiance of an Italian summer.  She has reimagined Colonia bottle silhouettes as brackets for canopies, introducing a dialogue between Dubai and Italy. Her choice of furnishings references classical architecture, with touches of citrus hues and contrasting materials.  

The café offers espresso-based drinks, traditional Italian pastries, iced coffee experiences and Mediterranean inspired mocktails. A central counter is joined by a custom Gelato Cart for a seasonal flourish.    

Caffettino by Acqua di Parma is an immersion into the Maison’s universe, inviting guests to discover its heritage with limited editions, novelties and gifting ideas.
