How to build a cafe where food, art and retail goods are integrated?
In the experience economy, cafes have become the most common vehicle for transforming the real economy. Today, I want to share with you two successful cafe transformation projects that combine food, art and retail, from India and Japan.
Workshop inc.'s project café is a fresh and vibrant space that successfully blends food, art and retail. This multifunctional space uses catering as a catalyst to successfully expand the range from artists and designers to ordinary people. Workshop inc. chose to make the interior natural and unique in order to highlight the ever-changing merchandise displayed in the space. Everything here, including furniture, cutlery, linens and art, is for sale; the space is more than just a cafe embellished with contemporary merchandise.
Ornate niches are used for art and merchandise.
The cafe is located in a dilapidated shack in Ahmedabad, India, which consists mainly of several small and separated rooms that open up to achieve a sense of physical and visual connectivity. The freestanding walls are fitted with white-painted steel bars to display the merchandise. Each area in the cafe gives a playful and lively feeling, and at the same time has its own special place. The grid-like metal ceiling can be used to display products that need to be hung, creating a flexibility unique to this cafe.

Japanese studio ON design partners designed FIKA, a cafe and Nordic small goods store located in a quiet residential area of Tokyo. The owners of the goods use their wares on a two-story shelf every day, and the shop and cafe merge into one. The structure has a large glass facade through which passers-by can see the goods on the shelves. The house is divided into three floors, and a two-story entrance leads to a small kitchen on the first floor. In the second-floor warehouse, the rest area is very well lit, and there is also a private and elegant tatami space, but more private space is actually in the basement.
