# Wavy Wood Coffeeshops The Don Cafe House by Innarch is Inspired by Sacks of Coffee Beans By Meghan Young | Published 2013-05-15 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/don-cafe-house References: [contemporist](http://www.contemporist.com/2013/05/13/don-cafe-house-by-innarch/) & [innar.ch](http://www.innar.ch/) The stunning design of the Don Cafe House might be appropriately inspired by a sack of coffee beans, but the first thing that will come to some people's minds is The Great Wave off Kanagawa painting. As though reinterpreted using strips of wooden plywood, this focal point of the Don Cafe House is a curvaceous bench that bleeds into the wall as though it were a crashing wave. Designed by Innarch, the Don Cafe House is located in Pristina, Kosovo. The ribbed effect of the wall is mimicked throughout the rest of the space from the lampshades to the coffee counter. Visually striking, the end result is a sculptural interior that is at once decorative and functional. Not to mention that the organic look is extremely comforting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sculptural Interiors:** Designing coffeehouses with visually striking and sculptural interiors creates a unique and memorable experience for customers. - **Organic Aesthetic:** Incorporating organic and natural elements into coffeehouse designs, such as wavy wood, creates a comforting and inviting atmosphere. - **Ribbed Texture:** Using ribbed textures throughout a coffeehouse, from walls to lampshades, adds a cohesive and visually appealing design element. ### Where This Applies - **Coffeehouse:** Coffeehouses can embrace sculptural interiors, organic aesthetics, and ribbed textures to attract customers and differentiate themselves in the market. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can explore new ways to incorporate sculptural elements, organic materials, and ribbed textures into commercial spaces like coffeehouses. - **Furniture Design:** Furniture designers can create unique and functional pieces, such as wavy wood benches, that add a sculptural and organic touch to coffeehouse interiors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gabled Blackened Wooden Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harudot.md) - [Art Deco Café Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypique-1.md) - [Artificial Textural Cafe Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hahouse-cafe.md) - [Wooden Pillar Japanese Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bottle-coffee-cafe.md) - [Interaction-Based Japanese Cafe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bottle-coffee-3.md) - [Spaciously Modern City Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brandor-coffee.md) - [Concrete South Korean Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonspace.md) - [Minimal Coffee Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bottle-coffee-shinsaibashi.md) - [Wavy Sculptural Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-coffee-tables.md)
