The Design

About Smile Coffee Café

Smile Coffee ist ein Café in einem belebten Stadtviertel. Die Innenraumgestaltung folgt dem dänischen Konzept des Hygge, das Behaglichkeit und stilles Glück im Alltag beschreibt. Die ursprüngliche Zementstruktur des Gebäudes wurde bewahrt, für neue Oberflächen kam recyceltes Holz zum Einsatz. Eine U-förmige Theke und ein langer Tisch sind zum Eingang hin ausgerichtet und unterstützen Service und Interaktion. Eine Treppe verbindet drei Ebenen, eine Glastrennwand führt in den Gastraum im zweiten Obergeschoss. Preußischblau findet sich am Vordach im Außenbereich, am Wandlogo und am Sofa im Innenraum. Natürliches Licht durchflutet das Erdgeschoss.
