Curator’s note

Andrés Piñeros landed at LAX in 2013 with a suitcase, a leased car and no roadmap, and spent the next two years in Los Angeles cafes, studying roasting and talking with anyone willing to share what they knew. This room sits inside Litt Concept House, a twenty-thousand-square-foot collective that lives for design.

The Coffee

The Colombian Rose is six ounces of masala chai concentrate to six of milk, and the Gibraltar runs espresso and milk at two ounces each. The Terracotta Series carries the origins beyond Colombia, among them a Kenya from Kihoya in Murang'a in SL-28, K7, Ruiru 11 and Batian.

The Vibe

Adobe walls, aged whites, and black steel under a glass-grid ceiling, with light-mint walls keeping the room fresh and antiques all around. Wear is the design language: the surfaces are meant to show their years.
