'Decade The Love' by Yong Zhang: Innovation in Coffee House

Decade The Love

Coffee House for Touch Design

The left and right sides of the glass door entrance are designed to display old records on the wall, which highlights the owner's taste and also reflects the theme culture of the cafe's music review. Next to the door, the sculpture holds a tray, which holds customized coffee cups and surrounding products, highlights the theme culture of the coffee shop. As a transition between the indoor and outdoor conversion of the sunken space and the entrance space, the second linear light separates the open and wrapped space, redefining the relationship between the interior of the space.

Unique Properties

Under the cloak of rapid urban development, people are good at hiding in reinforced concrete buildings, trying to obtain psychological security in concrete wrapping. This Decade Cafe, created by Touch Design, is the first coffee shop in Tianjin to advocate a slow lifestyle with music criticism, music culture and fashionable peripheral products. It tries to depict the island of ideals and soft hearts in the current impetuous and fast fast-food life.

Production Technology

This case takes the classic and pure white orange terrazzo as the overall visual output focus, creating the simple and transparent effect through the large glass window and the customized white minimalist door, introducing abundant light for the narrow and long space, and at the same time, people can get a first glimpse of the internal space level.

Design Challenge

Limited by the structure of the house, designers are constantly thinking about how to make such a narrow and dark street shop into a unique cafe, and through their design to maximize the benefits for the owners. For this reason, the designers keep part of the old top and paint it white. The following heavy design allows customers to step into the core area of the cafe gradually, while adding a sense of love and ceremony for coffee.

Project Duration

The project started in April 2019 in Tianjin and finished in August 2019 in Tianjin.

Operation Flow

The dessert cabinet and bar are completely transparent, allowing a glance at the grinding, extraction, coffee shape and production process. The concise and delicate modelling sets off the products with a low-key attitude, making people focus their vision on coffee and dessert, deducing a very pure modernist style.

Research

Many people say that the this cafe is like a treasure waiting for music and coffee lovers to open. Mr. Ding, one of the principals of Decade Cafe, has collected more than 30000 old records and various rare record posters, he joked with us which can be changed into a villa if all of them are sold. Therefore, we hope to integrate coffee and culture, art and music through design, with such a unique gift to carry the dreams of two clients.

Inspiration

In the dimension of infinite extension of time and space, the interpretation of decade is no longer a short "ten years", but has been endowed with more beautiful meanings. In the city full of vigilance and alienation, the music, coffee, art and reading all merge and react to each other in this decade, forming a new form, and ultimately depicting the utopia of beauty and romance in people's hearts.
