The challenge for mode:lina architekci in designing this café inside the Mallwowa shopping mall in Skorzewo, Poland, was to combine a cosy, homely interior with a modern twist.

Architects defined the space by placing a bio fireplace in the middle encircled by a large, spacious table. In addition, they created a roof-like, suspended celling.

The interior is complemented with floor tiles laid like carpet, as well as a counter that resembles a traditional kitchen, which exposes the unique, home-made and traditional pastries – the specialty of Cafeina’s owner. mode:lina used varied (and harmonized) lighting: traditional lamp’s form with modern design and lamp’s in retro style with soft shape.
