% Arabica 30 Rockefeller Plaza
% Arabica at 30 Rockefeller Plaza blends modern aesthetics and historic homage. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant energy of NYC subways, the space features a striking palette of yellow and white, creating an inviting and dynamic atmosphere. The design also pays tribute to the architectural Art-Deco beauty of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The café seamlessly integrates with its iconic surroundings.
The focal point of the space is the cantilevered, illuminated coffee counter, made from compound-curving Corian panels, which gives it a seamless, floating appearance. This architectural highlight not only celebrates the art of coffee making but also integrates essential electrical and plumbing infrastructure, overcoming the challenges of maintaining a pure floating effect in a bustling midtown café.
