The Design

About Polo Café-Bar

Polo heeft niets te maken met luxe, het is een idee van liefdevol leven. En de Polo en koffie is een soort levensstijl. Polo Café, gevestigd in Hsinchu, Taiwan, is geïnspireerd op de dynamische lijnen van de swing in polo en de veranderingen in licht en schaduw wanneer paarden rennen. De essentie van polosportelementen wordt geëxtraheerd en omgezet in nette metalen lijnen, die door delicate arrangementen in de ruimte worden verspreid en gerangschikt. De ontwerper bracht de geest van deze klassieke sport in de ruimte, door middel van de slimme afstemming van de plafondlijnen, om een gevoel van snelheid en focus te creëren.
