Design of BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE UMEDA CHAYAMACHI CAFE in Osaka, Japan. Since this is the first coffee by the brand to open in new region, the interior design was required to consider the message of BLUE BOTTLE COFFEE conveying a story, easy to understand for the customers.

历史上，茶屋町拥有独特的日式茶文化，人们会聚集在这里共度时光。设计利用现代手法重新诠释了这种和谐的感觉。一层，顾客被温暖的木材环绕，灯光照亮咖啡制作区，将其变成了一个如同舞台一般的空间，突显出咖啡师工作的过程。柜台由拉丝不锈钢制成，给人以优雅高贵的感觉。表面反射空间，柔化了咖啡师和顾客之间的界限。店内的各个角落都使用了特殊的蓝色玻璃，以其独特的透明感传达出品牌的标志性特征。这件产品的存在是品牌信息的直接表达。

Historically, the location of Chayamachi has a unique Japanese tea culture, where people gather and share time, and the sense of unity is interpreted in a modern way throughout the whole cafe. On the first floor, the customer is surrounded by the essence of warm wood, a big drip station filled with bright welcoming light, a stage-like space where the barista making coffee stands out the most. The counter made of hairline polished stainless steel shows a dignified presence. The surface reflects the scenery of the space, softening the boundary between the barista and customers. The special blue glass, used throughout the store, expresses the brand’s iconic character with its’ unique transparency. The product is placed there to directly convey the brand’s message.

楼梯间上方悬挂了一盏玻璃吊灯，覆盖了整个中庭上空。吊灯使用的咖啡色玻璃珠由大阪的玻璃艺术家制作，温柔地邀请客人前来。行走于立体的楼体之上，顾客可以感受到光与色的流转，留下深刻的印象。

At the staircase area, a glass chandelier hung from the ceiling spreads throughout the atrium. Coffee-colored spherical glass, made by a glass artist based in Osaka, gently welcomes guests. Customers can feel the flow of an impressive view of light and color with the three-dimensional space experience of the stairs.

二层中部设有一个主要由白色材料围合而成的特殊区域，激发游客的五感。沐浴在从天花上“落下”的图像和音声之中，游客的感官得到刺激，对时间的感受也变得与平时不同，形成独特的体验。图像和音乐由设计师和Panoramatiks合作创造，顾客可以在这里实现自我重置。长椅使用特殊材料，只有坐在上面的人才会触发某种感官体验。这并不仅仅是一个概念，而是一个可以真实激发人类五感的场所。作为全新的咖啡店室内空间，它让人们在享用咖啡的同时，获得独特的体验。

In the center of the second floor, mainly surrounded by white colored materials, a special area is located, stimulating the five senses of the visitors. By spending time here while bathing in the images and sounds that ‘fall’ from the ceiling, guests create a special experience that can change the impression of time and stimulate their senses. Images and music, created in collaboration with Panoramatiks, allow the customer to fully reset themselves. The bench made of a special material has a mechanism that only the person who actually sits can encounter through a sensory experience. It is not just a concept, but a place that really stimulates the fives senses of human. the space has become a completely new cafe interior, that offers a special experience while enjoying a cup of coffee.
