Schematic Design

HEART CO.FFEE is an innovative hybrid coffee retail store. We try to mix both classical and modern styles smoothly in the interior environment. There are two elements we have designed to demonstrate both styles in a way to compromise - Bronze and Wood. The bronze element represents the classical style - a retro, vintage, and elegant slow-phase lifestyle.
