小大建筑设计事务所丨Blacksheep Café in PSA

上海当代艺术博物馆（Power Station of Art）是中国大陆最初面对大众开放的公立当代艺术博物馆。2018年春天时我们因一次快闪咖啡店的店铺设计而结缘，此次合作的委托项目是常驻的咖啡店铺设计。

The Power Station of Art (PSA) in Shanghai is the first modern art museum in China that opened to the public. We have collaborated once with Blacksheep Espresso in the spring of 2018 designing a pop-up coffee shop， and this time’s commission if for their permanent store.

▲项目概览

▲保证博物馆人流不被干扰的同时，营造出能吸引人流又拥有艺术气质的休憩空间

▲从室内看向5楼观景平台

不同于常规博物馆独立设置的咖啡店，连接PSA展厅与室外平台的通道从我们项目场地的中间穿过，因此“店内”与“店外”的概念被模糊，它更像是行走路径的一部分。我们希望将其与传统意义上的店铺区分开来，如同经过街道上的一条长凳般，可以拥有随时毫无拘束地坐下休憩的轻松自在心情。

Unlike the conventional museum coffee shop set up， the middle of our site is pierced by a corridor connecting the exhibition area and the rooftop terrace； the border between “inside”and “outside” is blurred. And rather than a coffee shop， this café is more like a part of the customers’ walking path to and from the terrace. Taking the site condition into consideration， we hope to design something that can be distinguished from a traditional store – like a bench on the street， passersby could sit down casually as they encounter it， without any pressure or obligation.

▲客人可以随意选择座位的使用方式

▲在通道一侧成为博物馆的一件可被使用的展品

▲雕塑般的组合家具，为其使用方式注入更多的可能

▲桌椅一体化的设计为其提供更闲暇舒适地休憩和交流氛围

▲桌椅板材细节，18mm厚胶合板叠加形成10cm的厚板

▲中岛家具细部

因此，与其在“街道”中加上“店铺”的硬装，破坏“街道”本身的空间感，我们通过运用单一材料：18mm厚胶合板叠加形成10cm的厚板，通过厚板相互结构上的穿插使其成为可供自由使用的大尺度桌椅。希望其介于家具和雕塑之间抽象的形象能鼓励更多活动和功能的可能性。

Instead of forcing a “shop”in the middle of the “street”， we designed the center piece furniture with only 18mm standard-sized plywood boards， stacked into 10cm thick planes. The interlocking of these planes is not only structural， but it also forms a large scaled furniture. We hope this abstract and relaxed image would encourage more possibilities of actions and functions.
