A new interpretation of casual design through materiality and atmosphere.
Located in the heart of Warsaw, ZUMI Café offers a fresh perspective on the casual dining format. More than just a place for a quick meal, the interior creates a sense of balance between design, tactility, and comfort.
The concept is rooted in material honesty and warm minimalism. Walls finished with textured plaster in terracotta shades provide a soft yet sophisticated backdrop. The color palette, inspired by natural clay, sand, and stone, establishes an atmosphere of calm and serenity.
Furniture follows a rational and understated aesthetic. Wooden chairs and tables crafted from natural, tactile materials highlight the democratic character of the café while maintaining architectural precision. The flexible layout allows the space to seamlessly adapt to different scenarios — from a quick lunch break to focused laptop work or evening gatherings.
Lighting plays a central role in defining the atmosphere. Built-in fixtures and delicate wall-mounted lamps emphasize the texture of surfaces, casting gentle shadows that add depth and dimension.
Bio UMKYdesign studio started activity in 2015. Today it is a close-knit team of like-minded designers, architects and engineers.
The studio works in the field of commercial interiors, our main objects are restaurants, bars, cafes, offices and hotels. In the design process, we focus on an individual approach to the object and the introduction of experimental art and design solutions that form the final image. Interior design is closely related to both object design and finishing materials, so many pieces of furniture are designed individually.
