In this project, we developed a design for the interior of a cafe located in the Krasnodar region. The customer of the project has a chain of coffee shops and in one of the establishments he decided to completely redesign the existing interior and determine the direction for the design, which will become the defining one for the entire chain in the future.

The layout solution determined the main location of the coffee shop zones. The location of the bar island largely determined the location of the column (in the center of the room) and the delivery window from the kitchen area. The bar counter, located with the main front opposite the entrance, immediately greets visitors to the cafe and seems to invite them to place an order. We made the customer service area quite spacious so that a sufficient number of people could fit here without embarrassment, and we also focused on mothers with strollers who can come into the coffee shop and take coffee with them.

In terms of seating, we used the full potential of the space and formed several types of seating. Opposite the bar near the window, we placed a bench with tables for 6 seats. Near the second window, we formed a cozy area with a soft windowsill, which also became an additional seat. In the central part of the room along the wall there is a second bench with 8 seats. The bar counter, bending around the column, forms an additional tabletop, on which we placed 5 more seats. Behind the bar counter there are three more functional zones: a children's corner zone; a seating area on the sofa and a full-fledged living room zone with a decorative fireplace. The total number of seats was 30 pieces.

The main theses that determined the stylistic solution of the entire interior were the following: the interior should be cozy and noble in terms of finishing materials.

The materials that we used in the project were gray tiles with discreet terrazzo and bright green glossy tiles, which encircled the entire space along the perimeter and became the main color addition to the interior. We finished the bar and bench area with natural-colored wood, and we also made the chairs in wood of a similar shade.
