Organic coffee shops create a natural environment

The cafe used to be a parking lot, but later, the Japanese design studio Ninkipen, the designer of the project! The parking lot was transformed into a small garden. The garden is covered with rugged slates and different kinds of plants are planted in the flower beds.

In order to make the interior better lighting and closer to nature, the door of the cafe specially uses floor-to-ceiling glass doors and is designed to be very spacious. When it was open, the door was completely open, showing a gesture of welcome. Also because of this big store, before entering the interior, you can see the tropical plant in the middle of the cafe. It is said to be a Jabuticaba fruit tree. The branches and leaves of this plant, also known as Brazilian grape, are evergreen all year round and can blossom and bear fruit all the year round.

Designers want customers to feel that the atmosphere here is simple and warm, so they choose an almost "understatement" style of design. The whole space is mainly made of concrete, and the surrounding walls, ceilings and floors are made of concrete, red brick, mortar, wood and other building materials. These materials bring different textures and layers to the space, as well as a sense of simplicity and softness.

On the potholed wall on the left-hand side of the entrance, the designer also hung a round mirror, which seemed to light up the whole cafe, with a smooth mirror in sharp contrast to the rough wall. at the same time, the mirror reflects the interior scene and looks like a natural decorative painting on the wall. The area of this cafe is small, only 67 square meters, and there are few seats, with several chairs surrounded by an oak table in the middle, and a row of wooden tables and chairs against the wall. But these furniture have actually been carefully selected, and they are all classic pieces of Danish modernism. For example, you can see the Y chairs by the Danish designer Hans Wegner (the central group in the store) and the J39 chairs by B ø rge Mogensen (the row against the wall), each with a small chandelier. Above the white artificial stone counter next to it is a beautiful conical ceramic chandelier. These small details reveal the taste and interest of the designer.
