Okkio Caffe, a 70 m² specialty coffee shop chain located in Vietnam, was designed by local interior design studio Red5Studio. The design team chose red for the building, a color that not only identifies the brand, but also represents the retro spirit the building seeks. Vuong Gia Ve is the influential and inspiring director of Okkio Caffe, so this design story was inspired by the film 2046 -- his famous film is about the train returning from 2046.

Based on that idea, the building’s façade is designed as the train’s windows with the iron bars as the highlight. Additionally, the ceiling inside is built up with the curved shape as the train’s one. Moreover, the “frame in frame” is decorated by the idea of getting the natural light from the windows, the ceilings, etc straight to the floor. 

At night, Okkio is going to be warm, romantic and private enough for the customers which the light will mainly focus on the bar corner instead. If people have a chance to observe Okkio in the lively sunset,will be definitely impressed by the peaceful red building with tons of light moving like a movie from the future that comes back to the past.
