With the industrialization in China, various forms of pollution have immensely increased,\u00a0air pollution being\u00a0one of the major issues. \u00a0According to an environmental study, a<\/span><\/span><\/span>ir pollution in Beijing has made the city almost uninhabitable for human beings.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When design studio Penda\u00a0<\/strong>was commissioned by the\u00a0Beijing-based property developer Hongkun<\/strong> to create a concept for its caf\u00e9 brand Home Caf\u00e9,\u00a0<\/strong>the designers considered this as a golden opportunity to create an interior space that would allow visitors to breathe freely within a polluted city.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The designers have utilized steel bars\u00a0to create a framework which forms the main interior design feature. The upcycled steel bars are painted black, connected with each other and constructed as a grid that defines the appearance of the caf\u00e9.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The steel bars create a series of cubic frameworks, which can be combined with\u00a0shelves of different sizes. This gives the owner freedom of reorganizing the grid or even reusing its parts for a different location.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The structural grid offers a space, where various cubic elements can be implemented. Boxes of plants, books and lights on different levels create various densities for the interior. By organizing the cubes, the modular system allows a flexible assembly for different occasions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Vine plants and ivy are seeded inside some pots. As they grow along the framework and slowly take over the steel, the plants will become a main design feature of the cafes and attract customers to return to a constantly alternating space.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many of the wooden pots are filled with air purifying and easy-to-grow plants such as spider plants, sword fern and marble queen. Other pots contain a wide range of herbs, along with freshly brewed coffee to produce an aroma-rich environment. The space connects directly to all human senses: rough plaster wall, leather seating and wooden furniture – touch, premium coffee and cakes – taste, the plants and herbs that offer visual and aromatic highlight. Home <\/strong>Caf\u00e9<\/strong>\u00a0– a green oasis\u00a0in the midst of a polluted city!<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n
