📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A curated collection of modern cafe interior designs by Stelios Kois.

Stelios Kois presents Cafe Plus, a volume dedicated to the architectural evolution of contemporary coffee houses. The text examines how physical retail spaces maintain relevance in an era where digital commerce defines new market waves. Consumers increasingly view these establishments as social hubs rather than mere beverage outlets. This shift has prompted designers to create multi-functional venues that interpret the global concept of a cafe for specific local needs. The book features thirty-five eclectic projects completed after 2015, many of which have received design accolades. Kois organizes these case studies to highlight the latest trends in interior architecture. Each entry includes detailed descriptions and illustrations that explain the underlying design concepts. The selection showcases how architects blend functionality with aesthetic appeal to foster community bonding. This volume serves as a practical reference for coffee shop owners planning new spaces, as well as for architects and interior designers seeking current precedents. Photographers will also find value in the visual documentation of these diverse environments. Readers looking for historical analysis or traditional recipes will not find them here. The focus remains strictly on recent commercial design solutions that inspire modern spatial experiences.

Cookbook desk
The desk appreciates the strict focus on recent commercial design solutions that inspire modern spatial experiences. The detailed descriptions and illustrations effectively explain underlying concepts for each of the thirty-five eclectic projects. However, readers seeking historical analysis or traditional recipes will find no value here. This is a visual reference for current precedents in interior architecture, not a culinary guide. It serves coffee shop owners and designers well but excludes those wanting beverage instruction.
