A coffee shop in a coffee bag

I don't think you've ever imagined you could drink your coffee in a bag of coffee beans. However, the designers at Innarch, an architectural firm in Pristina, Kosovo, envisioned it. They realized the decor of the first café opened in Pristina by the company that owns the Don Cafe brand as a huge coffee bag. Don Cafe House, as the café is called, offers its customers the joy of tasting a cup of coffee in a unique setting.

Coffee-flavored decor

The walls of the café are constructed of 2 and 4 cm wide plywood, cut, shaped and colored to suggest the folds of bags filled with coffee beans. To achieve this organic shape, pieces of plywood were cut separately on the CNC, then laid and joined together in a flowing image. 1365 plywood tiles were needed to clad all the walls and the bar. At the bottom, the bag-shaped molding resulted in benches, unique in shape, where one can sit to enjoy coffee and moments of leisure.

The luminaires are made of pieces of wood arranged and colored like coffee beans. They are arranged asymmetrically to suggest coffee beans in a bag.

Tables and chairs complement the overall look. The shape and design of the table tops felie roasted coffee bean, the legs of the chairs are the color of coffee - reddish brown - and the fabric is the color of a coffee bag.

The decor is complemented by the central pillars of the building dressed in pieces of burlap from coffee sacks.

The café design is a very interesting and original idea. But the realization of all the elements that suggest the sack - the plywood elements lining the walls, the tables, the chairs, the light fixtures, the sackcloth, the perfectly blended colors - is truly a remarkable thing.
