"The newest Japanese coffee bar from Norwegian-born specialty coffee brand Fuglen adapts a former neighborhood confectionery in Kyoto into a compact, street-facing coffee stand with a mid-century modern living room feel. On Kitayama Dori in a quiet residential neighborhood called Shichiku, the coffee shop comes courtesy of local partners Ami and Shin Mononobe, a jewelry designer and design studio head, respectively, who purchased the building just prior to working with Fuglen."
"While the partners have their office, atelier and jewelry shop in the same building, the shop itself is designed to reflect "a sense of neighborhood where the time flows at Kyoto pace," according to a project description Fuglen shared with DCN. "Kyoto has long been a great source of inspiration for us," Keiya Takahashi, Fuglen Japan CEO and director, said."
Fuglen Kyoto adapts a former neighborhood confectionery into a compact, street-facing coffee stand on Kitayama Dori in Shichiku, Kyoto. Local partners Ami and Shin Mononobe maintain an office, atelier and jewelry shop in the same building. The space aims to convey a sense of neighborhood where time flows at Kyoto pace. Keiya Takahashi, Fuglen Japan CEO and director, cites Kyoto's centuries-old traditions and a synergy with Fuglen's principles of history, heritage and craftsmanship. The interior combines Norwegian mid-century woodwork and warm lighting with a ribbed wooden bar, open shelving and low tables to frame the coffee station. Transparent frontage and small-scale seating welcome guests.
