Café society is booming in major cities across the planet, and Tehran is no exception. Situated right on Midan Arjantin, a bustling roundabout in the leafy Saei Park area of town, fast-growing coffee parlour chain J. Café has opened its third outpost in the sprawling Iranian capital. The café occupies no less than 350 sqm. (3,767 sq.ft.) spread across two levels of an entirely redeveloped section of an existing building. The interior design, created by Tehran-based Kanisavaran Architectural Group, sees the building’s porticoes used as additional seating space, and as such, connecting them with the indoor area. Framed and dipped in a pristine white hue, it signals the venue’s understated design codes from afar.
Inside, visitors find a light-filled space with varying heights which is home to several seating arrangements in a lounge-style setting, including more intimate nooks at its core, and also seating on an upper floor. Additionally, a bar, kitchen, bakery, and even an art store can be found here. Given the fact that the space has been entirely redeveloped, the design of J. Café sees a layering of interventions which aim to interactive and social spaces. As such, the ground floor seating arrangements include a large communal table with seating. As its name already implies, J. Café is first and foremost a coffee parlour, serving a slew of freshly made concoctions, but it’s one with a slew of additional pastries, cakes and sandwiches. © superfuture

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
