INTERIOR OF THE WEEK: King Jan's Bagels in Poznań - a game of shape, color and taste
Poznańskie Bajgle Króla Jana (King John's Bagels) is an interior bursting with energy, humor, and color. The space invites not only flavor seekers but also aesthetes and enthusiasts of unique interiors. It engages the senses and lingers in the memory long after the last bite.
Lots of humor and fun combined with artistic flair and good cuisine - this is how you can describe the new branch of Bajgle Króla Jana in Poznań in just a few words.
Geometry and color divide the rooms into zones. An arch in a brick wall —a relic of the past—becomes the perfect backdrop for modern circles, curves, waves, and semicircles: circular-inspired forms that softly contrast with the sharper lines of furniture and lamps. The entire space has been designed like an artistic canvas that comes to life—underfoot, on the walls, ceilings, and in the details.

- We have created a space where everyone will find something for themselves: high tables with stools, seats in display cases, a large common bench with movable tables that can be combined for any number of people, and a seat for a courier - admit the architects from the mode:lina studio!

High tables with stools, comfortable seats by the street-facing display windows, a communal bench that can be separated or joined, depending on the group's needs – all this makes Bajgli Króla Jana a flexible place, adaptable to any dream: a quick breakfast, a long lunch, an evening coffee date, or a late-night bagel tasting.

Warm and cozy spaces were created through the use of wood and colors that flow seamlessly between floors, walls, and ceilings, creating a seamless whole. Maja Ganszyniec, the creator of the Paradyż Neve Creative tile line, joined in the fun with structures, textures, and forms.
The bathroom is the pinnacle of the architects' ingenuity. The shape-distorting bagel mirror is part of the visual game, encouraging more time spent in the bathroom.

Łukasz Kosa, AKA Guru Gomez, handled the visual identity, designing the takeout packaging and the wallpaper on one of the walls.
