nendo | %Arabica咖啡科威特店-设计风向

位于科威特东海岸的%Arabica咖啡新店由nendo设计，内部采用清爽的白色内饰，饰有黄铜和混凝土元素，象征着该品牌高端产品的品质。190平方米的空间是一个分层平台，从入口附近的座位区逐渐升到顶部的柜台，从外部透过整个外立面的宽大窗户可以看到清晰的视野。

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将%Arabica咖啡分店的四米高的转角设计成阶梯状结构，最大限度地提高了可视性，增强了顾客和员工之间的交流。室内的长椅可以同时容纳30人，它被设计成一条曲线，以减少不必要的目光接触。根据伊斯兰教的习俗，女性应避免引起男性的注意。户外露台上还有44个座位，为了在视觉上连接商店内部和外部，长凳向外延伸。在货架上，带咖啡豆的亚麻袋和旁边挂着的“咖啡豆地图”成为了舞台的中心，而白色的咖啡机几乎消失在背景中。

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.
