SIKORA INTERIORS has shared photos of a new dessert cafe with a bright yellow interior they completed in the historic downtown of Hanseatic city in Poland.
The goal was to create a bold, experimental space that would establish a strong new brand. The designers’ inspiration came from the world of desserts.
The bright yellow interior has been paired with a French herringbone floor, ceiling moldings, and sculpted table legs that harmonize with chairs featuring traditional woven backrests.
Banquette seating with different colored cushions lines the walls, while pendant lights hang above the tables, and balloon lamps are mounted to the wall.
The sculptural ceiling is an eye-catching element in the space, with the designer, Jan Sikora, mentioning, “The ceiling is my personal expression. I imagined myself as a sculptor, creating a geometric composition on the ceiling in real time, much like the great Kurt Schwitters.”
The designer continues, “It’s a return to the past and a subversion of the meaning of design in interior architecture. This time, the design was meant to be absent—I sculpted the forms spontaneously on-site each day, composing the ceiling like a strange, ancient sculpture. It was a deeply satisfying process, akin to creating ephemeral art—just like the desserts served in this space.”
