Sunday mornings: the smell of fresh bread, a stray string of sunlight in a cafe, the low sound of plates and cups clinking together, cobblestones underfoot, every type of flower at the market, and no plans are the best plans
i devoured ‘the secret garden’ in record time today; it is so charmingly written. been having a bit of writer’s block lately, and i really hope i get over it soon, because it’s actually so frustrating to have a plan and know what i want to write but not have the right words for it.
26 February 2022-I finally had a moment to sit down in a café and spend hours working on Spring Journal. I was writing the newsletter for next month and took some time to stop and reflect. The world is increasingly bittersweet and overwhelming.
Effortlessly Cool Design and Turkish Motifs Characterize TAKAVA Coffee-Buffet in Kiev
A hip coffee shop in the heart of Kiev, TAKAVA combines chic, modern design with hints of Turkish coffee culture to create a trendy, atmospheric place to hang out over coffee, either by yourself or with friends.
Developed by YUDIN Design studio, the two-story space is divided into several distinct areas that vary in style, atmosphere, and distribution. A fresh, refined palette of light wood, natural brick, and burning copper gives the interior a contemporary, laid-back vibe, while seats are wrapped in soft velour upholstery for a luxe oriental touch.
Cezve, the typical Turkish coffee pot, is the central element of the design concept and can be observed in various forms throughout TAKAVA, from the strikingly illuminated logo to the unique shape of the coffee tables to the original lamps adorning the café.
