Welcome to FIKA.
Hospitality | 2023
Concept
Bringing the Swedish tradition of fika, a time of rest with a beverage and sweet or savory treat, to the historic district of Savannah, Georgia.
Aesthetically, finding the balance between the freshness of light wood and vibrance of Scandinavian culture.
Sustainability was held at utmost importance. Most interior structures are comprised of timber, and furniture and finishes were sourced from sustainable manufacturers.
