COMETA BISTRO BAR & STORE

COMETA is an Italian bistro bar and concept store located along the bank of the Suzhou Creek in Shanghai. Conceived as the first brick-and-mortar outpost for a successful online fashion shop, COMETA delivers much more as a highly curated destination for unique cocktails, food, fashion and lifestyle. 

Historically, Suzhou Creek was an important conduit linking Shanghai to Suzhou with a multitude of warehouses and factories along its banks. COMETA reactivates this maker and providore heritage in a modern iteration in the same location. Eclectic references of this layered history, the context of place, and the owners’ hometowns of Shanghai and Milan gave rise to the interior concept.
