Project overview

The project invites visitors to enjoy coffee in the cozy interior of LUNO — a café in the heart of Chisinau, where every decor element is aimed at creating a positive mood and a unique sense of space. The vibrant orange counter adds warmth, while the mirrored domes fill the space with light and air, serving as the main accent of the interior. The play and combination of elements, such as the light tiles on the walls, enhance the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere and a minimalist concept.

Project history

Luno Cafe began as a bold vision by a local entrepreneur passionate about specialty coffee and minimalist design. In early 2024, the client approached us with the idea of creating a cozy, modern space that would bring people together around quality coffee and simple pleasures. Over several months, the concept evolved through close collaboration—balancing aesthetic ambition with functional needs. The cafe opened in late 2024 and quickly became a neighborhood favorite. Its clean lines, warm materials, and calm atmosphere reflect the owner’s values and have inspired a small cultural shift in the area. Luno is now more than a coffee shop—it’s a hub for creative minds, remote workers, and casual meetups. The project gave the client not just a business, but a meaningful space deeply connected to the community.
