Nendo Designs launched at the Salone in Milan. Their design for a 'parent and child cafe' is located in Aoyama, Tokyo.
The design goes beyond practical issues such as light switches and door handles being placed high up to keep children from using them…
Since the cafe is designed to be enjoyed by two very different sizes of users - 'parents' and 'small children', so the interior plays on this difference in scale. These two groups also see the world through different eyes.
Take for instance, a table. Adults live their lives aware of tabletops, and the things placed on top of them, but children see the table's underside. A table's legs can look like pillars, and the reverse of the tabletop is like a roof.
The cafe's 'absolutely huge' and 'absolutely tiny' furnishings take advantage of these two perspectives, both of the adult's and the child's. Big windows pair with small ones, big light bulbs with small ones and even the floorboards vary in size.
A great super cute concept playing with scale and the issues surrounding height.
