Long before coffee became popular in Europe, it was actually a social drink in the Arab world. Coffee originated from the Arabic Qahwa, and in the 17th century, the cultivation and production of coffee was monopolized by Arabs. Even today, you can still feel the strong local characteristics of drinking coffee in Arab countries. the coffee itself smells of spice, and you have to follow a specific procedure to pour it out of specific utensils and grind it with your hands to show your welcome.

Dallah is a century-old traditional coffee maker made of gold, silver, brass, iron and other metals, with a drum body, an elegant curved handle, a towering and exaggerated lid and a long beak-like spout. The surface of the bottle is not forgotten to be engraved with gorgeous and complex patterns, similar to other utensils in the Arab region. This coffee pot has a wide range of influence, and its pattern is on the back of the dirham coin in the United Arab Emirates.

A new cafe called Dallah has been opened in Kuwait, which makes coffee in the traditional way. Local architecture firm associated architects partnership (AAP) has been asked to design a friendly and open environment where people can share a cup of coffee.

The firm's design revolves around three elements, showing a plan, a suspended roof and a functional sidewall. This corresponds to the design of the Dallah as a coffee maker, with a patterned bottle body, a removable lid and a side handle.

The other side of the wall is made up of hexagonal and diamond patterns with a sense of geometry, which is very modern. Green and white are the most commonly used colors in Arab countries, but in some brown diamond patterns, three-dimensional boards are used to make a sense of flying origami.
