Sabaku
Sabaku is the Japanese word for desert. This café celebrates the beauty of imperfection found in Japanese Wabi-Sabi, blending it with minimalism and elemental references to the Arabian desert.
Our design reflects this fusion through a raw, meditative palette: textured surfaces and subtle tonal shifts that evoke both eroded landscapes and quiet intentionality of the craft of coffee making.
The result is a calm, grounded space where form follows feeling, and materiality tells the story.
