Concept

East Coffee is an example of a limited-scope collaboration: the studio developed the concept, spatial logic and key design details, while the client managed the implementation independently.

The interior is built around soft radial geometry. It appears in the counter, the suspended branded element and custom furniture, bringing the open café together as one composition. The bar wall was detailed as a system of MDF cladding and shelving, with bespoke seating and tables developed for the guest area.

The lighting scheme uses warm directional light and micro-track spotlights. The completed space demonstrates how a clear concept and a small number of carefully resolved details can define an interior even without full construction supervision.
