nendo | %Arabica咖啡科威特店-設計風向

位於科威特東海岸的%Arabica咖啡新店由nendo設計，內部采用清爽的白色內飾，飾有黃銅和混凝土元素，象征著該品牌高端產品的品質。190平方米的空間是一個分層平台，從入口附近的座位區逐漸升到頂部的櫃台，從外部透過整個外立麵的寬大窗戶可以看到清晰的視野。

located in the eastern coast of kuwait, the new branch of arabica coffee designed by nendo comprises a crisp white interior, finished with brass and concrete elements that symbolize the quality of the brand’s high-end products. the 190 sqm space is built as a layered platform that gradually rises from the seating area near the entrance to the counter at the top, offering a clear view from the exterior through a wide window that spans its entire façade.

nendo將%Arabica咖啡分店的四米高的轉角設計成階梯狀結構，最大限度地提高了可視性，增強了顧客和員工之間的交流。室內的長椅可以同時容納30人，它被設計成一條曲線，以減少不必要的目光接觸。根據伊斯蘭教的習俗，女性應避免引起男性的注意。戶外露台上還有44個座位，為了在視覺上連接商店內部和外部，長凳向外延伸。在貨架上，帶咖啡豆的亞麻袋和旁邊掛著的“咖啡豆地圖”成為了舞台的中心，而白色的咖啡機幾乎消失在背景中。

in designing the four-meter high, corner location of the arabica coffee branch as a stair-like structure, nendo has maximized visibility and enhanced circulation for customers and staff alike. the interior bench, which can seat up to 30 people at once, has been built with a curve to reduce unwanted eye contact in respect to the islamic custom that advises women to avoid men’s attention. another 44 seats are available on the outdoor terrace, where the bench extends in order to visually connect between the shop’s interior and exterior. on the shelves, linen bags with coffee beans take center stage along with the ‘beans map’ that hangs next to them, while white coffee machines almost disappear to the background.
