Café Landmark

Designed as a seamless extension of its luxury retail surroundings, the space blurs the line between dining and socializing, offering an elevated yet inviting atmosphere for both casual meetings and refined dining.

Café Landmark embraces an open-plan layout that encourages fluid movement while maintaining a sense of intimacy. The design orchestrates a dynamic interplay of textures and forms—rich timber panelling, polished metal surfaces, and plush upholstery in warm, earthy tones create a modern and timeless environment.

At the entrance, a brushed metal monolithic reception rests in front of a high-gloss burl wood backdrop establishes a strong first impression. Inside, intricate detailing, such as the etched floral patterns in the custom metal partitions, adds a layer of crafted sophistication.

Seating is arranged in a carefully curated composition, balancing bold statement pieces with understated elegance. Vivid sienna and deep blue banquettes contrast against neutral-toned chairs, lending a sense of vibrancy to the otherwise muted palette. The strategic placement of a sculptural floral arrangement and ambient lighting elements further enhances the visual rhythm of the space.

The choice of materials reflects an appreciation for refined craftsmanship. High-gloss burl wood surfaces introduce a touch of Art Deco glamour, juxtaposed against contemporary brass accents. The intricate engravings on the feature wall evoke a poetic narrative, inspired by traditional Asian motifs reinterpreted through a modern lens. These details not only celebrate artistry but also contribute to a layered spatial experience that evolves with the movement of light throughout the day.
