Naringi Café V is the latest – and largest – venue of the Naringi Café chain, conceived as its flagship store. Located in a central pedestrian area of Chișinău, the capital of Moldova, it has been designed as a concept store that goes beyond the traditional café experience. Alongside the coffee area, it hosts multifunctional spaces for workshops and meetings, as well as a cozy lounge for conversation.
The project was developed to create an inviting atmosphere where visitors can feel at home. The historic facades, traditionally classic in the other venues of the chain, have been reinterpreted in a contemporary key, introducing arches inspired by the brand’s logo and color palette. By night, a carefully designed lighting system enhances their rhythm and geometry.
At the entrance, the café area welcomes guests into a bright and elegant space featuring a continuous parquet floor, pastel-colored Pedrali chairs with a modern twist, and custom lighting that plays delicately with reflections. The Fornasetti wallpaper acts as a visual thread running through all the rooms, while the custom circular seats feature planters at their center to recreate a sense of nature and warmth.
Further inside lies the multifunctional area, defined by a wallpaper depicting shelves with some books— a nod to the room’s flexible and creative use. A stepped seating structure provides a place to study, work, or simply relax, complemented by golden light fixtures that add depth and atmosphere.
The lounge area offers a contrasting yet harmonious palette, where bold reds meet a sky-inspired wallpaper that seems to dissolve the boundaries of the space. A sinuous, continuous sofa defines the area, creating intimate corners for conversation within an \\open layout.
Finally, the restroom continues the design narrative with an arched niche hosting the washbasin, echoing the recurring motif of curves found throughout the interior. Stone-inlaid tiles and a warm brick-colored finish complete the aesthetic, bringing together elegance and coherence in every detail.
