COLLECTIVE Completes Blue Bottle Coffee’s First Café in Southern China
The signature sleek and minimal coffee bar counter, clad in a composite of blue acrylic and metal grilles, greets visitors immediately from the street.
COLLECTIVE has completed the interior design of Blue Bottle Coffee’s first café in Shenzhen, marking the brand’s expansion into Southern China. Located in a 410 m² double-level space within Nanshan District’s MixC World, the cafe connects directly to the street on the ground floor and integrates with a retail mall on the upper level. Following a quintessential characteristic of original Blue Bottle cafes, the design of the space is purposefully abstract and minimal, drawing on the use of solid color and light to zone and accent, and a careful arrangement of ceiling and circulation elements to mediate between the expansive interior space and the more intimate human scale.
