intersection of architecture,
coffee, and design

How does design shape the way we experience coffee? This talk explores the interplay between space, atmosphere, and café culture—looking at current trends in Rotterdam and featuring a case study of büro bobo as a model of how interior design and coffee can seamlessly come together.

Today he is working on various design and architecture projects in the Netherlands, France and Germany reaching from object and interior design to private housing projects, retail, gastronomy and artistic installations. In 2023 he created Büro Bobo, a 15 m² concept space focusing on architecture and design, coffee and natural wine.
