Kali Coffee Roasters® is a Mexican company established by cafetaleros (coffee producers). Kali, which means home in the native language of Nahuatl, embodies the company’s philosophy and beliefs.
When analyzing the context and the living conditions of this community, we stumbled upon their homes which are constructed with wood and dirt walls with handmade clay tiles on the ceiling to protect themselves from the rain.
Using this clay tiles as part of the interior design on the walls, not only conveys their ways of life, but also offers a unique and warm texture that will function as an ambiance trademark for the brand. Needless to say, this clay-piece arrangements and lattice have a very powerful impact on the eye; their curvature and material properties help absorb and deflect sound waves to help with the acoustics. When the light is set against the texture, it acquires depth and its curved shadows resemble coffee beans, connecting the space to the product.
The open and industrial-like design promotes interactions between the customers and the staff which gives the baristas the perfect stage to share their talent.
