iO’s design for Roots Coffee at Mega Bangna mall begins with the simple premise of a continuous counter as a loop. Whereas the typical coffee stand positions baristas behind the counter and customers along its perimeter, our proposal aims to articulate a more permeable continuous boundary between the two. The coffee counter becomes a distinct sculptural element allowing customers to inhabit it within and without. The design of the loop offers formal and spatial variety, rises and descends to different elevations and becomes the host to a range of functions and occupancies. People are able to sit on, sit next to, lean against, and otherwise position themselves along the counter as its contour and architecture varies. In parallel, the continuous counter serves to manifest Roots brand identity and history, facilitating products and company information and processes be curated along customized displays built into the loop again as a linear and continuous narrative. #rootsbkk #cafedesign
