Rita
Building
‘Ta’ Rita Lapsi View’ was originally a small café catering for British servicemen in the 1930s. The current building is faithful to the restaurant built in the 1950s, when Għar Lapsi started attracting both local and international visitors.
Bench
The design of the piece inspired by ‘Ta’ Rita Lapsi View’ restaurant in Għar Lapsi recalls the modernist main façade of the original building in a subtle and contemporary way, thanks to the use of its iconic bright blue and a rigorous yet elegant composition of basic cuboid shapes and columns.
CHARACTERISTICS HIGHLIGHTED IN DESIGN:
Basic cuboid shape;
Column system of simplistic rhythm;
Iconic blue colours
Location
The SORĠI piece takes on the arduous role of evoking the unassuming and inimitable atmosphere of ‘Ta’ Rita Lapsi View’, while offering a seat overlooking the beautiful surrounding natural landscape. While the bench is used by the community, Ta' Rita, the true icon of the modern movement in Malta has been replaced with an “earthy” coloured guesthouse unfortunately.
