The ExMahalo restaurant in Turin by Studio Arketo is the June Monthly Winner of the Shaping Surfaces competition by Cleaf.

The philosophy of well-being and joy of living of the Hawaiian culture is conveyed in both the food and the environment, creating an experience that involves taste and sight. Soft colours and light flavours combined with a few accents, from land to sea, perfectly describe a place of encounters, freedom and love for life.

The petrol blue colour, with its strong reference to the marine environment, is declined in the three-dimensional texture of Cheope UB42 for the coating of the food preparation counters and in the smooth touch of Ovatta UB42 for the table tops. On the other hand, the earthy atmosphere is enhanced by the elegant grain of the elm wood effect of Fronda S164, used to cover the storage units and table tops.
