Il s’agit \u00e9galement d’un lieu de rencontre o\u00f9 des personnes issues de diff\u00e9rents domaines peuvent se r\u00e9unir, discuter et engager des conversations.

La fa\u00e7ade en verre relie la rue \u00e0 l\u2019espace int\u00e9rieur, et les portes lat\u00e9rales en retrait cr\u00e9ent un espace d\u2019angle. Cet espace d\u2019angle peut servir de coin-caf\u00e9 en plein air et de lieu de repos pour les passants.<br \/>\nDes bancs bas en bois sont dispos\u00e9s le long de la paroi vitr\u00e9e, permettant \u00e0 plusieurs personnes de s\u2019asseoir. Cette disposition le long de la paroi de verre laisse un large espace pour un passage. Les tables basses personnalis\u00e9es servent d\u2019\u00e9l\u00e9ments de contraste avec les bancs, les motifs circulaires creux sur les tables faisant \u00e9cho aux chaises qui se trouvent en face d\u2019elles. En m\u00eame temps, elles ajoutent une touche de variation verticale \u00e0 la banquette.<\/p>\n<p>D\u2019un c\u00f4t\u00e9 de l\u2019espace, il y a une vitrine fabriqu\u00e9e dans le m\u00eame type de bois. Il s’agit d’une vitrine en bois \u00e0 trois niveaux qui peut contenir divers objets tels que des tasses \u00e0 caf\u00e9, des magazines et de l’\u00e9quipement audio. Le m\u00e9canisme coulissant en m\u00e9tal permet aux clients et aux baristas de r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer facilement les articles.<\/p>\n<p>Les livres et les magazines plac\u00e9s sur le meuble cr\u00e9ent un coin tranquille pour les visiteurs, offrant une retraite mentale dans l\u2019espace parfum\u00e9 par le caf\u00e9.

Sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 ext\u00e9rieur, les clients peuvent d\u00e9guster un caf\u00e9 de sp\u00e9cialit\u00e9, tandis que sur le c\u00f4t\u00e9 int\u00e9rieur, il y a un espace de travail pour les nomades num\u00e9riques. L\u2019intention du concepteur est que les gens ne se contentent pas de d\u00e9guster un d\u00e9licieux caf\u00e9 chez ido&Friends, mais qu\u2019ils s\u2019embarquent ensemble dans un voyage cr\u00e9atif, inspirant d\u2019innombrables personnes par le biais d\u2019interactions amicales.<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019id\u00e9e est de cr\u00e9er un espace de travail pour les nomades num\u00e9riques.<\/p>\n<p>En plus du mur horizontal en briques de verre pour le zonage fonctionnel, le concepteur a \u00e9galement sur\u00e9lev\u00e9 l\u2019ensemble de l\u2019espace de bureau \u00e0 la verticale pour diviser les zones.<\/p>\n<p>La conception de l\u2019espace de bureau est bas\u00e9e sur l\u2019utilisation de briques de verre.<\/p>\n<p>La combinaison des marches en pierre et du mur en briques de verre d\u00e9limite un espace de bureau relativement priv\u00e9 tout en restant ouvert aux visiteurs. La lampe de bureau lin\u00e9aire minimaliste fournit un \u00e9clairage uniforme \u00e0 la fois calme et chaleureux. Les canalisations horizontales et verticales, ainsi que les biblioth\u00e8ques et les briques de verre, cr\u00e9ent une harmonie visuelle dans l\u2019espace.<\/p>\n<p>La lampe de bureau lin\u00e9aire et minimaliste offre un \u00e9clairage uniforme et chaleureux.<\/p>\n<p>Aupr\u00e8s du mur de briques de verre, on trouve une surface d\u2019armoire ferm\u00e9e qui sert de rangement pour les objets du quotidien. Une autre partie comprend une \u00e9tag\u00e8re ouverte, avec un cadre simple qui peut accueillir divers mat\u00e9riaux.

Ce choix de couleurs refl\u00e8te les principes de simplicit\u00e9 et de g\u00e9om\u00e9trie tout en mettant l\u2019accent sur la puret\u00e9 des couleurs.<\/p>\n<p>Les diff\u00e9rentes nuances des planches de bois de couleur caf\u00e9 s\u2019imbriquent les unes dans les autres, \u00e0 l\u2019image de l\u2019accent mis sur les surfaces planes dans le design du Bauhaus.

The horizontal and vertical pipelines, along with bookshelves and glass bricks, create a visual harmony in the space.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>Adjacent to the glass brick wall, there is a closed cabinet surface that serves as storage for everyday items. Another part features an open bookshelf, with a simple frame that can accommodate various materials. It can hold daily office documents and also serve as a printing and copying station.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>In addition to incorporating multifunctional spaces, the designer also aimed to embody the Bauhaus spirit in design techniques and styles, fostering collaboration across different fields.<\/p>\n<p>The color scheme of the space is intentionally limited, primarily featuring neutral colors such as coffee, black, and white. This choice of colors reflects the principles of simplicity and geometry while emphasizing the purity of color.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>The varying shades of coffee-colored wooden boards interlock with each other, akin to the emphasis on flat surfaces in Bauhaus design. The self-designed chairs draw inspiration from the letter \u201cA\u201d in the Bauhaus font, featuring distinct geometric shapes that highlight geometric composition and form.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>Selecting a leisurely afternoon, within the sun-kissed ambiance of the caf\u00e9, indulging in sipping coffee and daydreaming, or working quietly, offers a passage for your thoughts to traverse back to the mid-20th century. You can transport yourself to cities like Paris, Venice, and Barcelona, where artists congregated, engaged in lively debates, and delved into each other\u2019s works, all while contemplating the world both near and far.<\/p>\n"},"permalinks":{"fr":"https:\/\/int.design\/fr\/projets\/ido-friends-cafe\/","en":"https:\/\/int.design\/en\/projects\/ido-friends-cafe\/"},"titles":{"fr":"ido & Friends Caf\u00e9","en":"ido & Friends Caf\u00e9"},"wp_fields":[],"laravel_id":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/int.design\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/132721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/int.design\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/int.design\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/int.design\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
