Unique Properties: The main concept inspired by colorful masks in luxury black & gold interior design to stand out among other competitors cafes in Jeddah city.
There are so many similarities between Venice in Italy and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
Dimensions & Packaging: The indoor area is around 300 sqm.
The outdoor area is around 180 sqm.
The interior is consist of one floor with 4 m height.
Tags: Cafe, Coffee, Mask, jeddah, interior, design. gold, modern, style, italy
Production Technology: All materials were from the local market. However, the furniture and decor elements were ordered from abroad. After receiving the Italian masks from Venice some modifications were done as needed.
Design Challenge: After having long complex research about the similarities between Venice in Italy and Jeddah in Saudi Arabia in different aspect such as the geographical, cultural, historical,..etc. The result need to have Venice with its luxurious parties where they should wear mask to hide their identities as the main concept of this cafe but in a very unique and creative way.
Research: There was a challenge in having the Italian masks in the local market. The cafe opening was delayed until receiving them from Italy as it's considered one of the main design elements on the interior. However, it was worth to be waiting for it because it is used as background for photos taken by visitors.
Inspiration: After visiting the most beautiful city in Italy, Venice, during the Venice Carnival, one of the biggest events in Italy. I've found that the masks - the perfect attribute - make the Venetian Carnival unique from other famous Italian carnivals.
So, I decided that the mask would be the main concept for this coffee shop project.
Project Duration: The project started in August 2022 in Jeddah and finished in February 2023.Project Fit-Out took around six months.
Operation Flow: The operation and the work flow was very smooth because all the interior furniture and accessories were ordered the moment the construction work starts on the site.
Once the building was ready, they items and goods were arrived on time. This was happend because of the good planning and the full design package such as visuals, BOQ,..etc.
