"BARR x Cutburo Café and Flower Shop is a monochromatic retail and cafe space in Tbilisi, Georgia. The design objective was to unify two distinct sensory experiences - the social ritual of a café and the delicate, organic nature of a flower shop - under a singular, futuristic aesthetic. The project operates on the principle of 'industrial coldness,' using a sharp, silver-toned palette to frame and elevate the natural life contained within. The material selection is central to the project's spatial identity."
"Stainless steel serves as the primary medium, chosen for its reflective properties and its ability to create a dialogue between manufactured surfaces and surrounding textures. These metallic elements are grounded by the heavy, tactile presence of brutalist concrete and the timeless elegance of veined marble. all images by Grigory Sokolinsky stainless steel backdrop serves as spatial bridge at barr The manufacturing process focused on precision joinery and seamless transitions between metal and stone."
BARR x Cutburo Café and Flower Shop creates a unified monochromatic space in Tbilisi that merges the social ritual of a café with the organic delicacy of a flower shop. The project embraces an 'industrial coldness' through a silver-toned palette and stainless steel as the primary medium to reflect light and color. Metallic surfaces are anchored by brutalist concrete and veined marble, while precision joinery ensures seamless metal-to-stone transitions. Polished steel acts as a mirror to the flora, and the layout supports coexistence of aromas and functions. The neutral, high-contrast backdrop allows floral scents and coffee aroma to dominate, forming a rhythmic spatial bridge that transports visitors into an unconventional material realm.
