SPOTLIGHT
ON:
Asoka
Son of Dharma
Visiting Asoka Son of Dharma is like slipping into your oldest pair of
levi's - comfortable, easy and undeniably sexy. Their partnership with
Levi Strauss & Co. is evident through denim-style fabrics, saddle
stitching and the distinctive Levi's red tab on ottomans, bar stools and
denim upholstered toilet door panels. Its new look reflects the latest
international design trends while retaining its characteristic welcoming
warmth of a private home.
Asoka
Son of Dharma is informally divided into two main sections, each governed
by its own bar. A cosy alcove featuring additional fireside seating flanks
the main entrance bar. The additional champagne-martini-vodka bar is
positioned in the rear of the courtyard dining area, which remains home to
one of Cape Town's oldest olive trees, The Dharma Tree. This landmark will
now share the spotlight with a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind chandelier,
designed and produced by Lou Nylon, a Hermanus-based artist and musician.
Since it's re-opening the Asoka Son of Dharma has provided a welcoming and
relaxed atmosphere to several world-class celebrities, the most recent
being Colin Farrell.
