Nestled in the heart of Riyadh’s KAFD business district, the Toby’s Estate store has been meticulously designed to create a haven of tranquillity for customers seeking a breathing space from the fast-paced corporate world. In response to a design brief centered on crafting a standout central bar as the focal point of a coffee shop, the Studio Nesef team undertook the challenge to create an unparalleled space merging functionality with aesthetic allure.

Two distinct types of seating were integrated into the layout: dining seating for a more formal setting and lounge seating prioritizing comfort and leisure, catering to diverse customer preferences. To combat the spatial constraints of the narrow plan, we utilized two levels of seating, effectively delineating the seating zones from the central bar while imbuing the space with depth and dynamism.

An innovative touch was introduced with rippled metal pieces adorning the walls, not only injecting texture but also orchestrating captivating plays of light, enriching the ambiance with subtle nuances. Given the locale’s high-end business district setting, a sophisticated color palette of greys, beiges, and browns was curated, striking a delicate balance between upscale elegance and welcoming warmth.

A crowning feature of the design is the curved ceiling chandelier, a masterful creation crafted from an array of more than 200 Random Solo, varying in different finishes and shades. This bespoke installation serves as a captivating focal point, seamlessly harmonizing with the overall design ethos while infusing the space with a touch of luxury.
