Cafe Dolce | Student Work | resume








Café Dolce, a gelatoria and chocolatier located in the heart of Carmel by the Sea, California, provides the community and its visitors with an elegant and inviting atmosphere.  Strongly influenced by art nouveau and rich with organic forms and curvilinear designs, the architecture and design of the café’s interior boasts flowing curved soffits, repititon of arches present in the cabinetry and windows, Cocoa Blossom inspired stemware, a “J-shaped” bar, and decorative art nouveau poster art.  Inspired by drizzled chocolate and silky smooth gelato, the sensual flowing organic curves of the style correlate the interior to the products.  Café Dolce’s design compliments Carmel by the Sea’s high end niche market fueled by the highly educated population who devote their lives to the aesthetic arts.
