01 / Walnut · Cognac · Olive · Aged bronze
A welcoming coffee bar built around rich materials and elegant, compact furniture. Oval upholstered chair backs sit lightly within slender walnut frames; cognac seats and veined stone tables bring warmth to the foreground. Curved olive banquettes make sheltered places to linger beside the windows.

02 / Sage wirework · Terracotta · Warm white
A shaded courtyard café with open wire chairs and small tripod tables arranged as loose groupings. The radial chair backs let the architecture show through; terracotta-coloured tops give each setting a little warmth. A backless bench and restrained planting furnish the edges without creating a corridor of identical seats.

03 / Burgundy bentwood · Cane · Pistachio
A soft retro café where familiar curved furniture feels fresh again. Burgundy loop-back chairs and woven cane seats give the room a light, distinctive outline. Pistachio round tables and small butter-yellow booths add gentle colour, with a cream counter keeping the service area calm.

04 / Aubergine plywood · Apricot · Brushed aluminium
A café with confident colour and a clear furniture silhouette. Moulded plywood chairs bring a broad back, an open handhold and a thin visible edge; angled metal supports give the small tables a different stance. A high shared table adds a second seating height without filling the room with bulky upholstery.

05 / Pearl upholstery · Ivory stone · Champagne · Plum
A coffee lounge organised around comfort and quiet material contrasts. Separate upholstered back and arm panels sit above a fine swivel base, giving the chair an open profile. Oval stone café tables keep the dining settings compact, while a straight sofa and lower plum table create a distinct lounge corner.

06 / Natural ash · Charcoal · Warm white · Nickel
A quiet café where the character comes from joinery and proportion. Carved saddle seats and short T-shaped backs give the solid timber chairs their own identity. Rectangular tables on visible legs, a long shared setting and a simple window bench create variety through scale rather than decoration.
