Classic Interior Style Blends Comfort and Elegance at Cordelier’s Cafe | Canwill Design Associates
The interior of Cordelier’s Cafe is undoubtedly one of its most striking features. As soon as you step inside, tranquillity and warmth greet you, creating a stark contrast to the bustling world outside. The carefully curated color palette plays a significant role in setting the tone for the space.
Earthy-toned warm yellow and pastel green hues dominate the walls, evoking a sense of calm and serenity. Deep blue walls, finished with a rich texture, further enhance the luxurious yet inviting appeal of the cafe. These elements are tastefully accentuated by gold detailing found in the arch framing and pendant lighting. Moreover, it adds a touch of understated opulence to the decor.
The prime location of the café in the tech park and the presence of a glass façade on three sides meant we needed to make sure our design is perceived well from all points of view. We used its visibility from the main entrance to our favor, highlighting the space with warm lights and signage to draw the users in.
We also put in an effort to beautify the ceiling such that when one looks up from the ground floor, they see the gorgeous chandeliers. The Cordelier’s café becomes a focal point in the otherwise drab tech park.
The seating arrangements are designed with both aesthetics and comfort in mind. Custom-made Chesterfield sofas, known for their timeless elegance, lend a refined charm to the space while ensuring a cozy experience for patrons. The interplay of lighting is another defining element of the cafe’s design.
Thoughtfully placed pendant lights and ambient lighting create a warm and inviting glow, while large windows allow for an abundance of natural light to flood the space, making it feel airy and refreshing. The natural illumination not only enhances the cafe’s visual appeal but also fosters a relaxing environment for visitors to unwind or engage in conversations.
Cordelier’s Cafe also pays homage to classical design through its architectural elements. One of the most visually captivating features is the symmetrical arches adorning the back wall, lending a sense of grandeur and harmony to the interiors.
These arches are enhanced by backlit niches, which serve as focal points for decorative elements, subtly adding character to the space. A thoughtful selection of materials further elevates the overall ambiance. Polished marble countertops exude sophistication, while sleek wooden tables and rich leather furnishings strike the perfect balance between modernity and timeless comfort.
Beyond its core design elements, Cordelier’s Cafe incorporates several carefully considered details that add to its charm. A handwritten chalkboard menu infuses a personal touch, making the cafe feel more intimate and inviting.
Strategically placed greenery breathes life into the space, fostering a connection to nature amidst the urban setting. These subtle decorative touches contribute to the cafe’s warm and welcoming environment. Thus, making it a delightful escape from the daily grind.
Cordelier’s Cafe redefines dining within Airoli’s high-tech park by seamlessly blending contemporary design with comfort and sophistication. Whether you are looking for a quiet corner to work, a cozy spot to unwind, or an elegant space to connect with colleagues, Cordelier’s Cafe offers the perfect sanctuary within the corporate landscape.
