Designer's Note
“Chiang Mai in Thailand, is a beautiful ancient city with unique culture and traditions. The city gave us the impression of an “airy ambience”, welcoming visitors and allowing them to relax and chill.
The design concept was based on this ‘airy ambience’ which characterizes the city. The store’s walls are designed to maintain clear visibility from the outside while terrace seats are provided in all directions so that customers can feel the gentle breeze blowing through the city. Over half of the interior space consists of an atrium, effectively creating an open and airy atmosphere with enhanced visibility inside the store.
By adopting Chiang Mai’s bricks and outstanding rattan features in Chemex shaped stools, lamps and planters, we have incorporated the city’s elements of architecture and crafts into the design.
We hope customers will indulge in Chiang Mai’s “airy ambience” blended with the taste of Arabica.”
