The starting point for the interior concept for this cafeteria was a red La Marzocco coffee machine that the customer bought long before the project started. The designers responsible for the interiors felt "it would be symbolic of building a cafeteria interior around a coffee machine": thus came the red door, reminiscent of the iconic Parisian bar Little Red Door, as well as all the other little red accents, including the logo and the entire brand identity.

Coffee-au-lait wood panels, vaults and brick flooring make this cafeteria a true ode to the coffee culture. The brick, also used in the main counter, creates a smooth transition between the entrance and the counter where visitors can choose and try the delicious coffee. "We used German Feldhaus clinker bricks here. The material is strong and resistant enough for a floor covering, but at the same time cosy and pleasant to the touch to serve as a countertop", say the designers.

The main challenge of this project was the size of the space. "To accommodate the desired number of guests, we used deep railings as part of the seating and placed a small side table, which hung on the wall." The two large tables beside the windows provided space for possible events, such as business or group meetings. It is also possible to seat some people at the counter.

"Despite the modest size of the space, it was important for us to give due attention to the bar, where the main coffee production action will take place, offering visitors the opportunity to watch the coffee manufacturing process as a performance".

A charcoal sketch by local artist Nurbol Nurakhmet adds a remarkable subtlety to Julius' atmosphere. The chairs are from the Danish brand Gubi, and the tables and wooden panels are made by local artisans.
