KIDZ Designs Yerevan Coffee Shop Around Sculptural Stainless Steel Bar

architecture-design · 2026-08-05

The architecture studio KIDZ has crafted FEIN, the brand’s second coffee shop in Yerevan, Armenia. Spanning 63.2 sq.m (680 sq ft), the interior features a sculptural coffee bar made of stainless steel, which serves as the focal point of the design. With only broad guidelines, the studio aimed to create a modern and innovative atmosphere. The layout emphasizes the coffee-making process, turning espresso preparation into a spectacle for patrons. A guillotine window system allows the café to merge with the sidewalk, while a backlit diffuser wall casts a warm, changing glow throughout the day. KIDZ, known for previous projects like Kloud Café & Bar in Glasgow, plans to complete FEIN in 2026.
