Cafe Oficyna Gdańsk, Poland

Cafe, reading room, events venue, bookshop and so much more: Cafe Oficyna in Gdańsk, on Poland's Baltic coast, offers its clientele a comprehensive service.

The outdoor space, which looks out onto the city's characteristic stone buildings, was designed with a strong emphasis on colour: the C1.2/4 seating and TA tables, both made from metal, have been chosen in bright red, blue and yellow, thus contrasting beautifully with the building's powder-pink facade. The exterior table, with its accompanying chairs, becomes a unifying element, bringing together function and design.
