The Czech coffee brand, which became famous for its outdoor coffee packaging, opened its first brick-and-mortar store in the center of Prague. It serves as a classic shop with coffee goods and selected chocolate, an internet dispensary or also a small Espresso bar. Here you can enjoy a selection of coffee with a view of Peter's Tower, or take it with you to the streets of Prague.

The investor's request was to create a modern store in a simple minimalist style in the current space.

Constructionally, the space was divided into a warehouse with facilities and a main sales area. In terms of color, it was required to adhere to the company's "colourpack". Therefore, colors such as white, black and gray are mainly represented in the design. The entire space was further softened by elements of birch plywood, which appears contrastingly in the facing of the counter, but also in the furniture sets. The sold assortment also acts as a decoration of the entire space. The ceiling is unified by a perforated grid, from which light fixtures reminiscent of halved coffee beans emerge. Plywood can also be found in small details, such as a menu board.

Seating in the store area is represented by the street window. It consists of a decent plywood line and elevated bar stools.

During the design, the environment was taken into account and recyclable materials are adapted to this (recyclable plasterboard, steel, wood, ceramic tiles). The use of energy-saving LED lighting is a matter of course.
