Designer's Note
Guangzhou has a hot and humid climate with rain throughout the year. The city is teeming with greenery, with flowers blooming in every season. It even boasts a popular destination known as the Flower Castle.
In designing the third % Arabica store in Guangzhou, we aimed to reflect the city’s climate and the theme of “Rain and Flowers.” To mimic the effect of falling rain, the store features numerous % shaped signs hanging from the ceiling. The reflections from mirrors scatter these images, creating an illusion of rain. Additionally, a divider that blooms with % signs, mirroring the flowers of Guangzhou, welcomes customers on the terrace.
This % Arabica store is tailored for coffee enthusiasts. It offers bench seating and communal tables where customers can enjoy the view of the hanging % signs, as well as picnic tables and parasols on the terrace for enjoying coffee on both sunny and rainy days. ***
