Project developed by Olga Aleksandrova in a previous professional context.

There's a precise moment when a café stops being a room and becomes a place: when the materials stop being finishes and start telling a story.

For Terra & Grano, Olga Aleksandrova developed that concept. The commercial design begins at a fluted terracotta counter, moves through oak, exposed brick and tall industrial windows, and settles on a brass logo pressed into warm plaster. Earth and grain, read straight from the matter.

The commercial interior design and brand identity came as a single gesture. The coffee space and the mark breathe together: menus, coffee bags, cups and business cards all speak the same language of brass, concrete and clay, right down to the washroom with its concrete basin and round mirror. A retail and horeca project shaped as one full experience, where every guest at the counter feels they've arrived somewhere worth coming back to.
