Architecture firm Tigg Coll has designed Cona in London on Goodge Street. It functions as a coffee bar and nail salon. The space is defined by contrasting shades of coral orange and baby blue. Cona features both these hues blended with curved accents including the arched doorways, fluted surfaces, sphere light details, and round tables.
It was important to create a sense of joy and wonder at Cona. Director at Tigg Coll, Rachel Coll notes, "We developed a design that arouses curiosity, attracts trade and sparks joy. Yes, it's Instagrammable, but it's much more than that – it's an intelligent, characterful design that reflects the brand while creating a memorable experience for everyone who encounters it."
