In Szczecin, Limone Cafe serves coffee, desserts and artisan ice cream in a bright, warm setting intended for small gatherings and work. Loft Kolasiński designed the 72-square-metre interior and some of its furniture and fittings. Working with Same Plusy, the studio also established a coherent visual identity for the cafe. Photography is by Michał Szałkiewicz.
A cafe beside Jasne Błonia
Limone Cafe stands beside Jasne Błonia, known for its avenues of century-old plane trees. Its location prompted a focus on small gatherings over desserts and meals, moments of rest, and quiet work over coffee. The cafe specialises in desserts made with artisan ice cream. Italian dishes have also recently been added to the menu.
A coherent visual identity helps guests notice a venue, remember it and recognise its character. For Limone Cafe, Loft Kolasiński collaborated with Same Plusy, which designed a minimalist sign. This helped establish the colours and style used in the interior.
Oak, grey and Nero Marquina marble
The interior has a restrained, largely minimalist character. Subtle greys and warm wood tones form its base, while generous glazing makes views of the surrounding greenery part of the space. The result is a bright, natural and welcoming setting for a pause in the day. Its subdued appearance keeps attention on the desserts being served.
With so few elements in the room, each required careful consideration. Alongside remodelling and designing the interior, Loft Kolasiński designed the furniture, using oak and Nero Marquina marble for the counter, sideboards and benches. Chairs and organically shaped mirrors are by Tamo. Pendant lights complete the scheme.
An outdoor terrace for summer
The project extended beyond the 72-square-metre interior to a summer terrace and a pavilion for serving customers outdoors. Lightweight furniture in two colours stands on the wooden deck, with parasols providing shade on sunny days. These additions were intended to make the cafe an enjoyable place to visit throughout the year, with the surroundings contributing as much as the food and drink.
