Today, online shopping is taking over everywhere. Yet brick-and-mortar stores still have one unique advantage: the sensory experience. Lacoste has understood this perfectly. The brand has incorporated a coffee shop right in the heart of its retail space. In this way, the brand with the crocodile logo invites its customers to relax and socialize, going far beyond the act of purchasing.
Matfer Bourgeat had the privilege of designing the custom coffee shop counter for this ambitious project.
A custom-designed coffee shop counter created for a minimalist aesthetic
The visual design with the MODBAR system
The MODBAR system completely frees up the countertop. It also removes the visual barrier between the barista and the customer. In fact, the technical components are hidden beneath the counter. Only the elegant swan-neck spouts remain visible. Service thus becomes a true visual spectacle.
The signature logo: the detail that makes all the difference
Design is in the details. That’s why we customized the drip tray under the MODBAR by incorporating the Lacoste logo. What was once merely a technical component has thus become a strong yet subtle brand signature.
Display and Temperature Control: The Benefits of a Custom Coffee Shop Counter
A showcase that highlights the delights of fine food
A purchase always begins with a glance. That’s why the storefront was designed to resemble a fine jewelry display. It showcases the pastry creations and sparks desire. In this way, it creates an irresistible focal point along the customer’s journey.
Uncompromising Thermal Control
We opted for a refrigerated display case designed specifically for cold beverages. This choice ensures a clean, uncluttered presentation and complete control over the cold chain. Furthermore, it perfectly complements the sleek lines of the entire counter.
