Project description

Project Completion: 2020 The internationally recognized Machi Machi Bubble Tea brand has been expanding their presence in Canada and this design reflects the latest concept for their continued Canadian expansion. The brand renowned for its philosophy that “It’s Not Just a Drink – It’s a Way of Life”, commissioned a design consistent with this ideology. The result is an organic and sensual space that is both complex and carefree. The design incorporates multiple layers of curved surfaces to evoke a sense of exploration and discovery. The Venetian plaster treatment on the walls provides the layers with an added dimension of texture in the space. The neutral palette is both bright and energetic and the wall treatments mimic the effervescence of bubbles. Two design elements that have become synonymous with the brand were also incorporated. Firstly, the 3 person floating seating is a tribute to Machi Machi’s traditional design. And, secondly, the iconic and social media friendly “I Love You So Machi” wall was prominently positioned. The resulting space offers patrons a fun and interesting environment to experience that is as unique as the products on offer.
