Creating an
interior that brightly stands out, polish designers Anna Kobylka of kolorama in collaboration with Olga
Sietnicka of bloogarden have completed “Cafein bistro”. The colorful eatery is located in Szczecin,
Poland and responds to the client’s wishes of making somewhere instantly
recognizable and easy-to-spot by its potential customers. Playfully contrasting
fluoro elements against more subtle shades, the soft pastel tones of blue,
yellow and orange provide a neutral background against the bursts of
highlighted materials. These vivid colors are applied onto retro armchairs and
stools, while the custom-made ribbon like staircase features as a key moment.

Typically,
Poland does not have a vast history of colour usage in interior design; it is
common to see simple use of colour and neutral colour schemes. The designers
shared the view there has been an overuse of "tasteful shades of recession
taupe" in Polish design. The aim of Cafein Bistro was therefore to change
that. The shape of space gave the designers an instant idea of where to place
the bar and how to divide the space into different zones. Then came the idea of
using ribbon-like stripes. The soft pastel tones of blue, yellow and orange
ribbon-like stripes transform into more vibrant colours on the floor or on the
box upholstery. During the project Kobylka and Sietnicka discovered that the
client collected old furniture. Retro armchairs and stools were updated by upholstery
in vivid colours. The powerful tropical colours gave definition to the bar and
staircase. The custom-made ribbon-like staircase takes the role of the colour
highlight in a subtle shade interior. Each step was made separately. To give
more dramatic sort of cascade effect the railing on each step has different
thickness. To avoid slippery steps in the wintertime, a rubber pattern was
created using the Cafein logo. [2]
