Using magnified bean grains as a visual motif, the double-walled structures that surround the [interior coffee shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-blakes-holborn) cause compelling light effects on the inside. Blending the various sizes and forms of the [whitewashed latticework](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cs-somme-cafe) and the geometric structures, the LOFF Meltino Bar & Lounge itself is a conversation starter over a cappuccino. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Coffee-inspired Architecture:** Designing unique structures that integrate coffee as a key design element or inspiration. - **Latticework Interior Design:** Incorporating latticework designs in interior spaces for visual appeal and lighting effects. - **Geometric Structure Design:** Using different geometric shapes and forms to create visually appealing architectural structures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architecture:** Architects can use this concept to create unique, coffee-inspired structures or spaces. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate latticework designs and geometric structures to create visually-stunning spaces. - **Café and Restaurant Industry:** Café and restaurant owners can use unique and visually-striking designs to attract customers and set their businesses apart. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Art Deco Café Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypique-1.md) - [Boldly Designed Minimal Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinklu.md) - [Dynamic Layered Interior Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-tondo.md) - [Colorfully Interior Designed Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lackawanna-caf.md) - [Spaciously Modern City Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brandor-coffee.md) - [Minimal Coffee Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bottle-coffee-shinsaibashi.md) - [Layered Cafe Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joe-blakes-holborn.md) - [Pared-Back Coffee Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bottle-coffee-shop1.md) - [Industrial Café Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-blue-bottle-coffee-west-bund.md)
