40 rue Chapon - Paris III

2013

LOUSTIC IS A COFFEESHOP FOR ESPRESSO LOVERS :  CHANNA TAKES EXTRA GOOD CARE OF HIS BEANS !  THE PLACE IS A LONG RECTANGLE, SO IDEA WAS TO GET INSPIRATION FROM A TRAIN SHAPE :  SO A ROUND SHAPED WALL WHEN YOU ENTER WITH SQUARE MIRRORS AS WINDOWS & COAT RACKS ABOVE ! 

I HAVE DESIGNED THE FURNITURE TO BE «MECHANICAL» , AS MAKING ESPRESSO IS A MECHANICAL ACTION :  SO ROTATING TABLES ON BRACKETS, LAMPS ON BRACKETS, TABLES ON SCREWS .. I KEPT SOME ORIGINAL WALLS TYPICAL FROM OLD MARAIS - I HAVE DESIGNED «SCOUBIDOU» FRAMES INSPIRED FROM THE 50’S TO HOLD MAGAZINES, THERE IS ALSO A SCREEN TO WATCH MOVIES AT THE REAR OF THE PLACE ... WELL MOVIES, READING & COFFEE !
