Assignment 2 part 1 Mathilde, Philip, Josefin

Da Matteo

Old but ”clean”. Rustique materials and coffee in old style packages try to communicate a sense of quality. It is very expensive.

Materials:
Ceramics, stainless steel, glass and rustique untreated wood.
Construction visible in ceiling.
Try to combine the old-fashioned grocery-store layout with “clean and fancy” café.

Smell:
Cardamom buns, coffee.

Music:
Jazzy.

Visitors:
People with sense of quality, dress code: black.
More women than men.

In the passage

Narrow
Pittoresque
Benches in front of some shops: used in summer, with sun in general?
Place to eat/drink/smoke (?), a bit hidden, in the shadow.
No real eating place, only Da Matteo and a chocolate shop. Go in the street around to find food places.
Small shops.
People passing through.


In the café

Books about coffee.
Expensive!
Funny inside view on the clothes’ shop.
“Cosy” atmosphere, kind of alcove feeling.
Time issue: the place is probably used in a different way in summer, with people going outside on the many chairs available.
