Gravity coffee shop recently reopened its newly redesigned shop in Seaview Mall, Abu Hulaifah. The interior was designed by Studio Nama, the same studio behind the new Matchbox at JACC, which I also love and highlighted back in December.
The main design concept of Gravity aims to accommodate both individuals seeking quiet moments and larger groups looking for communal interactions.
What caught my attention was the contrast between the different materials, colors, and textures used to give this space its unique look. I also love how the space has so many layers and nooks—plus, I’m a sucker for chocolate brown velvet sofas. Studio Nama deliberately created a variety of seating options, from sofas to casual tables with chairs to platform cushions for a more informal feel. It’s because of these different arrangements, the space can accommodate both solitary visitors and larger groups.

This looks like concept art come to life! 🤩
So generic. Everywhere I go I see a dull “concept art coffee dispenser office alike décor place” with customers being tattooed and bearded 25 year old infantile boys and lip filled girls. I had enough of this coffee and restaurant agenda so I only cook food at home and drink tea in the morning. Life is not about coffee and food.
what are you talking about? If anything it sounds like you should leave the house more often.
What’s the coffee like @Gravity ?
On a separate note are there local vendors here that do the South Indian ‘filter kapi’?
Two that I know of in Salmiya Block 10:
* Nellai Karupatti Coffee Kuwait – this is right next to Paratha King
* Holy Bakes – it is located behind the Pakistani English School
One in Kuwait City and Salmiya:
* Udupi Restaurant
