% Arabica New York MoMa

New York, New York. 2024

We crafted the Arabica % coffee shop at New York’s MOMA to evoke calm and warmth. The space features undulating curved walls and ceilings that mimic the shape of a cozy cave, providing an intimate sanctuary amidst the bustling city. Soft lighting, fluid lines, and natural materials like wood further enhance this tranquil, immersive atmosphere.

 

As fabricators and installers, we used advanced technologies like 3D CNC cutting and 3D scanning to achieve a continuous and immersive curved space. The process involved bending double-curved wooden panels and installing fiberglass-reinforced gypsum (GRG) boards, resulting in a seamless flow that defines the shop’s unique design.
