Plain Desserts needed a café that works across two levels, with a long counter for service and plenty of seating for guests who like to stay.
A 480 m² dessert café in Jumeirah 3, Dubai, designed in warm timber, soft plaster tones and gentle light, as a relaxed place to meet. Designed by ELE, one of the best interior design studios in Dubai for hospitality.
Plain Desserts needed a café that works across two levels, with a long counter for service and plenty of seating for guests who like to stay.
The palette is calm and natural: warm timber, soft plaster-toned walls, oak chairs with sage cushions and plenty of plants, with linear lighting tracing the ceiling.
A long timber counter, softly lit from below, anchors the café beneath the Plain sign. Linear lights run overhead, wall lights warm the seating areas, and a staircase with a glass balustrade leads to the upper level. The result is understated and welcoming, a place to meet at any time of day.
