Daily Injects Odessas Coffee Culture with Stylistic Finesse

2019-08-05 18:20

Just a 15-minute stroll from Shevchenko Park’s Green Theatre, the first and only open-air venue in Odessa, caffeine aficionados can indulge in one of the best examples of Ukraine’s booming coffee culture. Third wave coffee shops and awarded baristas have transformed the city into an artisanal heaven for bean enthusiasts. Sivak Partners, an architectural and interior design studio based in Kiev and Odessa, may have ongoing projects in more than ten countries, but their belief that “good coffee is part of a good city” led them to create Daily Café: A 76 square metre microcosm that adapts to any coffee situation, on a day-to-day basis, creating a space “where good people can enjoy good coffee”. After setting up a small, short-lived pop-up coffee bar on the spot, Daily café opened its doors as a regular establishment in early 2019, eager to cater to patrons that come here to have a nice chat, work in an inspiring environment or cozy up with a good book and a hot cup in hand.

从舍甫琴科公园的绿色剧院-敖德萨第一个也是唯一的露天场所-步行15分钟，咖啡爱好者就可以尽情享受乌克兰蓬勃发展的咖啡文化的最好例子之一。第三波咖啡店和咖啡师奖已经把这座城市变成了咖啡豆爱好者的手工艺天堂。位于基辅和敖德萨的建筑和室内设计工作室Sivak Partners可能在十多个国家有正在进行的项目，但他们认为“好咖啡是好城市的一部分”，于是他们创建了每日咖啡厅：76平方米的微观世界，每天都能适应任何咖啡环境，创造一个“好的人可以享受好咖啡”的空间。2019年初，“每日咖啡厅”(Daily Café)在当地设立了一家小型、短命的“弹出式”咖啡吧，作为一家固定机构开业，热切地欢迎前来这里聊天、在鼓舞人心的环境中工作、或手拿着一本好书和一只热杯子的顾客。

Designed to resemble movie stills, every corner in this café aims at creating the feeling that we are all part of an arthouse production, meeting, passing through each others lives, interacting like characters in a perfectly choreographed scenario, even for a brief moment in time. In fact, the Daily is divided into two very different settings, both featuring a bold and naturalistic design. Entering the café, one is met with a big hall featuring a long counter, a sitting area with a lovely hanging garden over it, and plenty of natural light coming in from the large glass façade looking out on the street. This can easily be dubbed as the working area of the café since its small tables make for ideal, one-on-one meetings, when brief brainstorming sessions over good coffee are the call of the day, while the tall stools next to the window support coffee breaks on the run. Serving much more than good blends, this part of the Daily also doubles as a creative hub where social events like “Breakfast with an interesting person” take place every two weeks, hosting famous guests giving inspiring talks and interacting with the people and place.

这个咖啡馆的每一个角落都设计成类似电影，旨在创造一种感觉，即我们都是温室生产的一部分，会议，通过彼此的生活，像一个完美编排的场景中的人物一样互动，哪怕是短暂的时刻。事实上，每日分为两种非常不同的设置，两者都以大胆和自然主义的设计为特色。走进咖啡馆，一个人遇到了一个大的大厅，有一个长的柜台，一个休息区，上面有一个可爱的悬挂花园，还有大量的自然光从大玻璃杯里出来，从街道上看出来。这很容易被称为卡福的工作区，因为它的小桌是理想的、一对一的会议，在简短的头脑风暴会议上，好的咖啡是一天的召唤，而在窗户旁边的高凳子在跑步时支撑着咖啡。这一部分每天都是一个创造性的中心，在那里，像“与一个有趣的人一起吃早餐”这样的社交活动每两周都会发生，接待著名的客人，与人们和地方进行交流和交流。

Leaving the feel of an urban space behind, the second area of the coffee shop looks like a spot that typical New Yorkers like Patti Smith would probably inhabit daily. With dimmable wall lights, bookcases with lowered shelves, a custom-made velvet sofa for snuggling up with a good book or next to each other, this is a much more intimate space. Here, the tiles laid on the main hall give way to thick wooden floors, and half-closed window blinds create a setting where privacy is king. The raw cement textured walls run throughout the whole project, with colours varying from terracotta to burgundy creating a rustic feel, interrupted by spells of contemporary design, like the custom-made curved mirrors and perforated wooden separates. A curation of interesting furniture scouted out carefully adds to the cool, cozy and minimalistic Daily café that serves so much more than good coffee.

咖啡店的第二个区域似乎是一个典型的纽约人-比如帕蒂·史密斯(Patti Smith)-可能每天都住在那里。有可调光的壁灯，书架较低的书架，定制的天鹅绒沙发，可与一本好书相互依偎，这是一个更为亲密的空间。在这里，铺在主大厅上的瓷砖让位于厚厚的木地板，半封闭的窗户百叶窗创造了一个隐私至上的环境。生水泥质地的墙壁贯穿整个项目，颜色各异，从兵马俑到勃艮第，创造出一种乡土的感觉，被当代设计的咒语打断，比如定制的弯曲镜子和穿孔的木制隔板。精心挑选出有趣的家具，增加了凉爽、舒适和简约的每日咖啡店，它提供的不仅仅是好咖啡。
