A modern urban coffee shop in Moscow — light concrete, matte metal, glass blocks, round forms and a deep blue accent.
OK COFFEE is a modern urban coffee shop in Moscow with a clean, calm and memorable atmosphere. The concept is built around a combination of light concrete, matte metal, translucent glass blocks, living greenery and a deep blue accent.
The project's main visual motif is round forms tied to the coffee shop's name. They appear in the radial geometry of the furniture, the round tables, the cylindrical stools, the soft lines of the bar and the glass blocks with their delicate circular relief.
The interior is resolved in a restrained urban palette: light grey concrete, silver metal, a saturated blue tone and the green of plants. The space is modern, clean and expressive, without excess decor or visual noise.
The main idea was to create a small but distinctive coffee shop for the everyday urban rhythm — a place to drop in for coffee, pause for a while, work, meet someone or simply take a break during the day.
Open a city coffee shop on a compact floor plate so it works in an everyday rhythm: fast takeaway ordering, seating for a short meeting, and a place to work. All of it on 55 m², where every extra partition eats into seating.
A small area carrying a full set of functions: bar line, seating, back-of-house and a guest restroom. The queue at the till must not cross the path into the room, and bar equipment needs ventilation and power tied in at the planning stage.
A full design project: from site survey and planning through to working drawings and schedules the contractor builds from and the client purchases against.
A rounded metal counter with deep blue finish behind the working zone and integrated lighting. The radius removes sharp corners on a narrow pass and sets the signature motif — round forms tied to the name.
A single large table with built-in greenery in the centre of the room. On a small area it yields more seats than a set of separate tables and serves two scenarios at once — solo work and a group.
A modular translucent surface with circular relief divides the space yet passes light and keeps the sense of volume. A solid wall on 55 m² would visually cut the room in half.
A built-in banquette, round tables and cylindrical stools along the glazing. The zone is separated from the queue at the till, so a short meeting or work does not cross the takeaway flow.
Light microcement, a simple blue accent, a clean basin and a backlit mirror. The guest area holds the interior standard without pulling in complex, expensive solutions.
A complete interior concept was developed for the main zones of the coffee shop: the bar, the window seating, the central table, the entrance and the guest restroom. The bar became the main accent of the space — a rounded metal counter, a deep blue finish behind the working area, soft integrated lighting and a restrained sign with the coffee shop's name.
The window seating is designed as a calm place for short meetings and work: a blue built-in banquette, round tables and cylindrical metal stools carry the overall motif of round forms. In the centre there is an oval communal table with integrated greenery, which makes efficient use of the small floor area and offers a comfortable spot for guests who come to work or spend time over coffee.
Glass blocks are used as an architectural accent and a way to divide the space softly: the translucent modular surface with its circular relief lets light through, adds depth and reinforces the project's signature idea. The guest restroom follows the same style but without complex or costly solutions — light microcement, a simple blue accent, a minimal basin, a softly backlit mirror and matte metal details.
