The House Cafe: The rich history of coffee, manifested in design.

According to interior design company C’est Ici, the brief for this project was to create a café with an ambiance “as warm, grounded, earthy, and balanced as the perfect cup of coffee.” This vision was masterfully brought to life through a minimalist aesthetic that embraces neutral, earthy tones and organic materials.

كان الدافع وراء اختيار شجرة الزيتون لهذه المساحة هو رمزيتها الغنية وأناقتها الطبيعية. تُعرف شجرة الزيتون بتمثيلها للسلام والحكمة الخالدة، وهي تكمّل بشكل جميل الأجواء الهادئة والراسخة التي سعى C'est Ici إلى تحقيقها. فوجودها يعمّق ارتباط المقهى بالأرض، ويضفي على المكان إحساساً عميقاً بالتاريخ ويثري التجربة العامة بجمالها العضوي.

More than just a manufacturer, we provide expert design guidance on enhancing spaces with artificial vegetation. For this project, we recommended a natural, gnarled olive trunk to reinforce the design narrative. Its slender, aged form seamlessly complemented the minimalist interior while infusing the space with a unique sense of history and character, qualities a younger tree simply couldn’t offer. Positioned in the centre of the café, the tree is visible from all angles, so we took extra care to ensure it looked perfect from every perspective. As we attached additional branches, we carefully crafted an irregular form, capturing the organic, untamed beauty of olive trees in nature.
