Illy Kit

​

"IllyKit" is a flexible structure consisting of repeating modules. The modules combine in particular ways to form variant cafe kits to be established at different locations. These kits meet the defined needs of service and types of spaces.

The tables at the modules are optional by their ability to slide in and out of the stucture just like drawers. Therefore time to be spent at the cafe is left to the individual. Whether a couple of sips or a long 2 cups chat with a friend.

The structure of the modules are of plywood. Back panels surrounding the modules are either glass or acrylic on which graphical illustrations could be applied to make it a showcase with lights from within.

The counter, namely the "core", is the center of attraction in all cases. A simple display case is located beneath the counter set exhibiting the products of Illy.
