Design concept

The design of this tea kiosk ingeniously combines modern minimalist style with the cultural connotation of tea drinking. Its design style is both simple and elegant, creating a space that conveys the leisurely atmosphere of tea drinking. It creates a consumption scene as warm and mellow as tea through smooth curved shapes and soft lighting applications. In the bustling shopping mall, it attracts customers to stay and consume, conveying the brand’s unique tea drink aesthetics.

The kiosks do not take up much space overall, but they expand the horizontal spatial sense through curved shapes, making the interior not feel cramped. In the vertical direction, the top design is utilized to extend the visual effect. For instance, the combination of cylindrical and circular light strips not only divides the space but also guides the line of sight, making full and ingenious use of the limited space. This is suitable for compact commercial environments such as shopping malls.

Layout planning

The operation area is located behind the kiosk. Here, professional tea-making equipment such as coffee machines and tea extractors are integrated and neatly arranged without looking messy. Below the operation area is the raw material storage area, which is convenient for staff to quickly take tea, dairy products, and other materials, improving the efficiency of serving meals.

The exhibition area uses front light box posters to visually present characteristic tea beverages, such as Da Hong Pao tea lattes and red lychee tea products. The poster, with its bright colors and exquisite pictures, stimulates customers’ visual senses and arouses their desire to purchase. Meanwhile, some areas of the operation counter can also be used as temporary displays, allowing customers to closely observe the tea-making process and enhancing the consumption experience. The simple arc-shaped bar counter in the customer interaction area provides customers with a space to stay for a short while and pick up their food. An open layout enables staff to promptly understand needs, recommend products, and enhance service quality and customer satisfaction.

Material selection

The exterior of the kiosk and the bar counter extensively use custom-made light-colored terracotta bricks. Its rough surface texture brings a natural and simple visual and tactile experience, echoing the natural attribute of tea beverages. Clay bricks have excellent durability and fire resistance and are suitable for the usage requirements of commercial spaces with high foot traffic and frequent environmental changes. The flexible light strips hidden in the gaps of the terracotta bricks and the top design emit a soft and warm light, outlining the spatial contours. The light strips are energy-saving and have a long lifespan. The stable light provides continuous and comfortable illumination for the space.

Some areas are with metal frames and glass materials, such as the metal operation tables in the equipment area and the glass partitions in the background. Metal endows the space with a modern industrial feel and a sense of refinement. Glass increases transparency, connecting the operation area visually with the outside. The glass material maintains a sense of openness in the space and is easy to clean and maintain, meeting the hygiene requirements for commercial dining spaces. The sign adopts acrylic illuminated letters. It is simple and eye-catching during the day, and at night, the light shines through, enhancing brand recognition. Acrylic material is light, has good light transmittance, is easy to install, and has a good visual effect.
