1. Beijing, China

BIG SMALL COFFEE

Nestled in central Beijing, Big Small Coffee comprises two parts: a coffee bar and a room for the customers, linked by a courtyard. Within a mere 19 square meters of space, Office AIO was able to give the brand a fresh and professional identity. The carefully considered design serves a range of functions, transforming site-specific constraints into characterizing elements. The small butcher tiles scale the space, while providing a sober, versatile backdrop. The soft-toned cork panels on the other half are warm and inviting to the touch. Volga Blue granite was selected for the bar, with spectacular blue accents, secretly celebrating the brand’s visual identity.

大小咖啡

 大小咖啡位于北京市中心，由两部分组成：咖啡吧和顾客室，并由庭院相连。咖啡师的办公室名叫Office AIO；在这仅有19平方米的空间内，爱咖啡的人们赋予了这一品牌新鲜而专业的形象。这间咖啡馆的设计经过了仔细的考虑，能够将特定地点的限制变为咖啡馆的特色元素。咖啡馆的一半选用瓷砖装饰，这样的设计扩大了空间的规模，同时为整个环境提供了一个清新的背景；另一半则选用软木面板，视觉效果温暖而诱人。咖啡馆酒吧选用了伏尔加蓝花岗岩，搭配壮观的蓝色调；而蓝色正是大小咖啡的标记。

2. Shanghai, China

FUMI

Celebrating coffee’s intangible pleausres, Alberto Caiola translated coffee’s aromatic vapors into a sculptural ceiling that is the centerpiece of Fumi. It gently slopes away from the counter and becomes both a canopy and stage for the baristas. Even the color evokes associations with the drink itself. Winding up and beyond the glass facade, it lends a sense of movement to the entire space. An eye-catching wall installation comprises numerous coffee pots, acting as a tribute to Italy’s signature brew. To create the illusion of a larger space, a large mirror spans the area and the furniture was designed with a reflective surface.

FUMI

为了颂扬咖啡无形的愉悦感，Alberto Caiola将咖啡的芳香蒸气可视化，用作咖啡馆的天花板，进而成了此咖啡馆的特色。黑色的咖啡液体轻柔地覆盖柜台而后逐渐远去，好像咖啡师的斗篷，也像制作咖啡的舞台。天花板的颜色也会让人联想到咖啡本身；它一路蜿蜒到玻璃幕墙之外，为整个空间带来了动感。咖啡馆的一整面墙都挂满了不同式样的咖啡壶，以向意大利的标志性咖啡致敬；在房间的另一角，一面大镜子横跨整个区域，家具也都带有反光表面，以营造更大空间的视觉效果。

3. New York City, NY, USA

Iconic Cafe

The design process of Iconic Cafe started with an accident, when the architect discovered a photo in the rubble of the demolished site, which depicted the beautiful Indian art. So he decided to conceive a design inspired by the richness of patterns and colors of Indian art. This concept was fused with the 90-year-old wood joists of the site, oak paneling and raw brick walls, symbolizing New York. Iconic Cafe roasts and serves its own brand of coffee and offers earthy Indian coffee blends.

记号咖啡

记号咖啡的诞生始于一次意外：建筑师在废墟中发现了一张照片，上面描绘了美丽的印度艺术。 因此，他决定以印度艺术丰富的图案和色彩为灵感来构思一种设计，便是这家咖啡馆。建筑师的这一灵感和理念，跟咖啡馆当中已有 90 年历史的木托梁、橡木镶板和原砖墙融合在一起，也正好象征着纽约。记号咖啡烘焙并供应自有品牌的咖啡，并提供朴实的印度混合咖啡。

咖啡无疑是一种美好的事物，咖啡馆就让这种美好有了生存的土壤。新的一年，友城书房继续欢迎读者朋友们。
