dining out cafés Daily Odessa, Ukraine Photos by ANTONY GARETS For the pared-down Daily café in Odessa, locally based Sivak+Partners opted for simplicity "because then the coffee is a centerpiece," says firm co-owner and chief designer Maksym Iuriichuk. It's an approach that led him to create a minimalist coffee shop swathed in warm beige tones but with unexpected moments of drama. Separated into two zones, the first is home to a spacious woodfronted counter and communal seating set atop a geometric tiled floor, while the second is moodier and more intimate thanks to rich burgundy painted walls and a regal emerald sofa. "The idea was to create a cozy atmosphere with the help of lighting," he says. "In the afternoon, you see sunlight from different objects, and in the evening, you see a completely different picture created by wall lights." 096 September 2020 hospitalitydesign.comhttp://www.hospitalitydesign.com
