Coffee shop appreciation: Osaka minimalist coffee shop Ninkipen

Japan's Ninkipen studio decorates a round wall mirror in a coffee shop in Osaka to reflect the tree view in the center of the store. Ninkipen used many types of materials to design this coffee shop in order to create a simple and warm atmosphere. The main line of design is to create this simple and warm atmosphere that echoes the organic food served in the store. The young trees are picked on the thick square planting platform in the middle, which is also opposite the mirror installed on the rough concrete wall. On one side of the store, a brick wall can be seen seeping into the dining area. On the other side, there is actually an earthen wall, decorated with flowers and plants. There is a small terrace and a rockery garden outside.

The sliding window door of the wooden frame can either open the field of view or open and close freely. Change the location of the parking lot in order to plant flowers and trees. Although the space is 67 square meters, it has the well-known seats of Hans Wegener, a Danish modernist furniture designer, and, of course, an oak table as a foil. The double seats are arranged along the concrete wall, and the small chandelier hanging from the top of the table is very emotional. I don't know if you have noticed the lamp above the service desk, but it is not simple. It is a tapered ceramic chandelier designed by product designer Hiroyuki, hanging above a small glass window. At the back is a horizontal set of hemlock wood walls in southern Japan, embedded with three thin shelves and hiding kitchens, bathrooms and storerooms. The counter and planting table are white artificial stone, and the floor is polished concrete.

Ninkipen also planted trees in the previously designed Kadoma hair salon. If you are interested, you can learn about it. Summary of design materials: oak, southern Japanese hemlock, polished artificial stone, earthen walls, masonry, mortar, mirror. All for a simple and warm atmosphere.
