Designed
by Saranin Artemy of the ALLARTSDESIGN Company, Redcup Cafe is a youth cafe,
restored in a retro-futuristic style...
Located
in the largest ‘resort city’ of Russia- Sochi, the cafe has an alluring quality
enriched with symbols and graphical representations of popular cafe-culture.
Retaining the original layout, the designers work around non-parallel walls and
irregular geometry with innovative solutions and ambient elements that succeed
in discreetly hiding the harsh angles of the space.

Thus,
the conspicuous circular columns stand out as boisterous elements, softened by
a rhythmic composition of parallel beige pipes, reminiscent of bamboo trunks.
The ceiling, also retained in its original form is altered with the help of
colours and soft, circular light fixtures.

The
190 sq. m. cafe accommodates a variety of seating arrangements that cater to a
variety of people throughout the day. The layout includes plush, informal
couches along the perimeter of the circular columns; family tables for formal
meals; casual seating for smaller groups, alfresco seating with bar stools, and
tables facing a large glass window, which in turn overlook the alfresco area.

One
of the walls, embellished with dynamic ornamentation of red and white cups,
balances the earthy overtones that compose the furniture and upholstery in the cafe.
Simultaneously, in order to portray the Asian orientation of the cafe, the wall
is treated with a grid of rectangular tiles constituting symbolic imagery. A
wall of stained glass also allows plenty of natural light into the space, which
in the evenings, under ambient lighting, transforms the cafe into a cosy haven.

The
flexible layout, coupled with the eclectic collection of furniture and
ornamentation, creates a warm and welcoming vibe for visitors all ages.
