Seoul Kaf é Nordic: Nordic style Cafe Cafe Design Coffee

Nordic elements can be seen everywhere from design to furniture, bright colors and practical and beautiful designs.

For the word "Nordic", designers understand it as a rich life and way of life, functional and artistic, small but powerful. This "small but powerful" concept is reflected everywhere in Kaf é Nordic. The area of the cafe is less than 40 square meters, and if you don't make a fuss at the entrance, it's easy to be submerged in the bustling neighborhood. So the designer played a visual game on the facade of the building, and the yellow spire hut you thought was just a model covered with red brick walls. This mask is a good outline of the Nordic style that the shopkeeper wants, the color and shape are very eye-catching, even with a little bit of fairy tale feeling.

There are as many as 27 kinds of tile patterns laid in the room, with a lively cartoon style.

The interior space is divided into three areas: dining area (25.93 square meters), kitchen (8.72 square meters) and toilet (2.27 square meters). The most interesting features of the dining area are the floor and furniture, which are covered with ceramic tiles and floors, of which there are as many as 27 kinds of tile patterns, which seem to have a very lively cartoon style, while the wooden floor uses classical wood grains. in sharp contrast to ceramic tiles. During the design and construction, the pipes of the kitchen and toilet are greatly moved and lengthened, which makes them ladder-shaped, strengthens the sense of order in the space, and solves the most difficult problem-the arrangement and storage of sundries, thus completing an open kitchen. The bathroom draws inspiration from Japanese origami (Origami). The shape of floor tile, sink or dressing mirror is very geometric, similar to the artistic charm of origami, and fake climbing vines are arranged on the wall. As the most secret space, the bathroom is like a gift from the shopkeeper, bringing customers a small surprise.

The design of the fairy tale house with a yellow spire at the entrance stands out in the street.

The furniture part also put a lot of thought into it. Although it seems to present a hodgepodge of scenes, in fact, the color, shape, location of each piece of furniture, and the collocation between tables and chairs have been carefully arranged by designers in order to create that kind of "casual beauty." It is worth mentioning that many of the objects here are master works, such as Candlestick Table (candlestick) from Korean designer Yong-Hwan Shin, Light Au Lait wall lamp with a sense of humor from German lighting designer Ingo Maurer,Lune du Matin series home furnishings from a company called An.Dear. The cutting-edge design brand.

There are only bathrooms less than three square meters, which are simple, beautiful and easy to use.

Finally, the part of the menu is worth mentioning. The menu of Kaf é Nordic is printed on the white wall, which looks like a few frames from a distance. But in fact, the drawing of these boxes is not so random, they are several rigorous geometric shapes: circles, quadrilaterals, hexagons and octagons. The designer told us that these figures represent the origin of the spatial structure, and what the Nordic design philosophy advocates is simple and practical, "beauty" while taking care of the most fundamental needs of people.
