Fluo, Architecture and design studio designed Fika cafe in Thessaloniki getting inspiration from Scandinavian graphic design thus organising the space as a white canvas where clean straightforward colourful lines give the sense that the walls are part of a poster. -text by the authors Fika is not just a word in the cultural vocabulary of Swedes; it is actually part of their mentality. It literally means to find some time during your day to enjoy a cup of coffee with friends, but it’s so much more than that. It is this time of the day when you slow down, indulge yourself with coffee and a sweet, preferably homemade and well-presented and socialize. Ideally this should be taking place in a design, comfortable and well lit area. Our central idea for Fika was inspired by the Scandinavian graphic design, with its simple yet sophisticated style. In the entrance, the multi-colored terrazzo welcomes guests to the sitting area with the orange couch and the wooden chairs with the woven backing. The conical tables in green and white add a touch of whimsy. The metal shelves of the library, featuring cookbooks, seam to hover over the space. The distinctive graphic patterns create bold shapes that form lights, while others contour the outlines of the walls. Some patterns are formed by green brick shaped tiles and others by paint. The bar is nestled at the end of the space, creating a visual blue tunnel that leads to the kitchen and wc. Round metal mirrors are hanging down from the ceiling to the bar reflecting the freshly baked goods. The round hole at the back of the bar, partially covered in tile, unites the kitchen with the front. The cafe adds a pop of interest that feels edgy, cozy and whimsical all at once.

This mug is inspired by the porcelain cups that traditionally were used for the classic Swedish Fika. This modern version mug, works great for cappuccino or a regular black coffee. Glazed in a silky matte white that both looks good and feels very nice to the hand, this mug holds approximately 2 dl (7 oz). Saucer is not included but can be purchased in the Nordic Pottery shop! Each piece is handmade in the Nordic Pottery studio in the south of Sweden. First, it is thrown on the potter's wheel and then trimmed after a couple of days. After that, it is fired in a bisque firing, glazed and then once again fired in the kiln. This process takes about 3 weeks and is made with attention to detail and a love for good craftsmanship. - -Dimensions: Width 11 cm (4.35 in) Height 6 cm (2.35 in) -Microwave and dishwasher safe. -All items are handmade in Sweden using traditional techniques and high quality materials. -As with any handmade item, variations in size, color and shape may occur, and should be embraced!

Bodegón Cabinet renovated an apartment, located in a 1930’s building in the center of Valencia, restoring its original architectural elements while incorporating them, through the geometry of the arch, into the new design approach that is based on the owners’ daily life. -text by the authors Grandpa´s house Jesusas is the result of a house renovation in the city centre of Valencia. The house is located on a 1934-s building that belongs to the rationalist Valencian era. The curved facade, big bay windows, and tubular railings and details will set the language of the renovation and recovery of the original details. Bonjo and Miguel, our clients, confided their family patrimony to us so that we could recreate the character and story not only of the building and the house, but that of their loved ones. The first approach was mindful. Every detail and material brought us closer to the original house. The discoveries: The original mosaic floor was covered by the 90´s terrazzo tiles, with arches in the transitions between spaces, and moldings and ceiling details that create a very unique atmosphere. The goal now was to transform it into a unique house for Miguel and Bonjo. The program and a modern life Beyond the original details that helped us build up a unique language for the intervention, it was important to add up the ingredients of our clients´ daily life. One is passionate about cooking and the other is a tireless engineer that is currently working remotely. This required clear house zoning. Some private areas for working and resting and a generous and open space open to all the friends they love having around. One of the main interventions was to connect the kitchen with the living and dining room and to understand all three spaces as one. This space thus becomes a public area, absorbing the light through a balcony and a big bay window and creating a nice airflow through the apartment. A pleasant breeze. An original doorway arch connects the public and the private space through the corridor. This geometry creates a pattern that is replicated in all the doors, using coloured and textured glass as a reminder of the original materials and changing the scale of the space. The corridor becomes a complex space full of light and visual connections. The bathrooms allowed us to play and experiment with the proposed colour palette. The bedroom resolves a sensitive issue, the poor acoustic insulation of the building. This is achieved while implementing the concept formal resources: soft geometries and the preservation and rehabilitation of the original moldings. Colour and materiality There were memories from the clients about the original colours from the very first conversations, so we decided to build a story about it. The colour palette arised from the appreciation and recognition of some landmarks of the apartment’s past. We can highlight the green patterned custom-made kitchen bench (by Huguet Mallorca), the warm coloured glass as well as the shades and patterns of the original floors against the quietness of the soft tones of the bedroom.

Downloadable Art: NOT a physical product An indispensable part of Swedish daily life, “Fika” (pronounced fee-ka) is a kind of social coffee break where friends or co-workers gather. They have hot drinks, pastries, and toss around ideas and opinions. The Swedes love their Fika so much that it is both a verb and a noun. This original design was made by me in my Michigan studio; it comes ready to print and frame. Show your proud scandinavian heritage, or just your love of friendship and coffee. The folk art inspired design goes well with farmhouse or cottagecore design too. Are you ready to get your Fika on? Sally Chernenko Art
