Hogohuone
HogoHuone aims to provide a relaxed cocktail bar that fits Kallio. HogoHuone is a place of accessibility and warmth for all those who want to take part in a peaceful and loving community and wish to explore the diverse flavors that rum has to offer, and other treats. HogoHuone is a place to slow down, giggle, do a crossword, maybe take your shoes off - if it doesn’t add too much hogo.
Adrian Rigopulos is the founder of HogoHuone - a true cocktail enthusiast, self-taught mixologist, sailor, and professional contrabassist with the Helsinki Philharmonic.
The interior of HH is inspired by the Shakers, an 18th c. utopian religious group from the U.S. who believed in pacifism, human equality and a dedication to elegance and simplicity in functional design. Lead interior designer Sara Akhlaghmoayed has incorporated hallmarks of Shaker style into the interior, including the pegged trim, color palette, and minimalist antique furniture. To honor their legacy of craftsmanship, the space features many handmade objects from young Helsinki-based designers. Mimi McPartlan designed the flower-shaped color-changing lamps, menus, and made all of the ceramicware at Kulmapala studio in Alppila, including the tiki mugs, punch bowls, and even the sink in the toilet. The hanging wooden pieces are by Aalto University woodshop master Josh Krute.
