"The project was inspired by chess — the game itself and the illusion it naturally creates and its mystery."

CONCEPT

OMG coffee — is a recently opened café in Makhachkala (Dagestan region) in June 2022.
The project was inspired by chess — the game itself and the illusion it naturally creates and its mystery. And also, historic cafés’ distinctive style and the splendid colours of various distinct types of coffee.

IN PROGRESS

The key goal was to carefully preserve the unique atmosphere inside the historic building. That is the principal reason for soft and natural colour choice, along with the brick wall and properly fitted to it, chess floor tiles. There are echoing curvilinear sofas, arched doorways in the interior, and a painted wave on the wall and bar counter that links the whole space all together.

NOW

At the entrance, we instantly see a bar counter painted by a local artist. The undulating lines and shelves accurately represent the beauty and uniqueness of coffee colour pallette. Everything is intentionally designed in delicate characteristic hues that naturally fit the floor tiles, in which can be found a hint about chess board. Pieces of furniture and decorative lights were designed by architects' sketches, made precisely for this project and executed by local craftsmen.

The bathroom area instantly became the brightest accent in the project. The team’s desired result was to positively affect the guests. The space was thoughtfully designed with arch doorways. Radiant ochre-coloured tiles, a round wall sconce, and a custom-made rich blue concrete washbasin — all these essential elements are properly designating this room as the most vivid spot. The washbasin’s simple geometric forms perfectly adapt the flowing and winding lines of the space, naturally creating an ideal balance.
