Designer's Note
“Shenzhen has become a modern city, often referred to as ‘China’s Silicon Valley,’ and has welcomed a new % Arabica store inside its international airport. Located in an L-shaped section, the space makes the store appear smaller from the entrance. To address this, mirrors have been added to the walls to create a beautiful circular reflection of the kitchen counter and ceiling lights. The iconic circular counter is placed in the center to enhance the store’s organized look and make the area appear more spacious. This counter extends toward the back, creating a visually appealing space that draws customers further inside.
The store design features % Arabica’s signature bean cellar, seamlessly connecting the entrance to the back, creating an effect that entices customers to explore further. The space is filled with white materials and light to provide a futuristic impression, and it is designed with enough seating to offer a serene spot for travelers to take a breather with % Arabica coffee, while also building anticipation for their journeys ahead.”
