ideograf & paulina czurak design corner café in gdynia, poland

tea for two? how about 2,740? that’s the precise number of custom-manufactured teacups that fill a wall of the deco-influenced ‘corner café’ in the polish city of gdynia. designed collaboratively by ideograf and paulina czurak design studio, the downtown coffee stop (swiętojańska street) combines twenties-era detailing with contemporary accoutrements.

the project’s crowned jewel comes in the form of a solid wall composed of, as stated above, 2,740 ceramic pieces. due to installation needs, all had to be produced at the studios’ request — a signification of the close client-firm relationship developed throughout. wooden furnishings, vintage posters, and a custom logo work in tandem with architectural design, making ‘corner café’ a unique spot to grab a bite and drink. ‘corner café’ was created in collaboration by ideograf and paulina czurak design studio.
