Kyiv, Ukraine. 78 m². Completed June 2023

Bricble fabricated and installed all custom millwork for HUMANS, Coffee in Tech, a 28-seat specialty café at Bulvarno-Kudriavska 42 in Kyiv's Shevchenkivskyi district. The interior was designed in-house by the OneReach.AI team, who operate the café from the ground floor of their headquarters. The scope covered five elements: a room-length communal table with integrated power, a full-run bar counter, a birch plywood filter station, a cantilevered window bar counter, and a suspended plant shelf system spanning the main wall.

Bricble didn't just build furniture, they built the heart of HUMANS. The communal table has become the place where ideas are shared, connections are made, and technology feels truly human

A Table on Uneven Ground

The building's original wide-plank pine flooring was retained by OneReach.AI as a design decision. That floor has significant variation across the 78 m² plate. The communal table needed to sit level across its full length on a surface that was not level. Bricble welded the base from rectangular hollow section steel, powder-coated matte black, and fitted it with concealed adjustable feet. The feet anchor through the original floorboards into the concrete subfloor beneath. The adjustment system is invisible. The table reads as a single solid object resting on timber.

Installation took place while the café was partially operational, under wartime supply chain conditions in Kyiv that compressed an already tight timeline.

The Communal Table

The top is European White Oak, flat-sawn, edge-glued from two wide panels by Bricble into a single surface. Finished with Osmo Polyx-Oil hardwax oil in matte. Power and data grommets were CNC-cut flush into the oak at multiple positions along the table's length. Cabling routes through the hollow steel base to floor-level junction points, coordinated with the electrical contractor using shared shop drawings.

The table serves as the café's primary work surface, its longest single piece of millwork, and the element OneReach.AI identified as the project's functional centre.

Supporting Scope

The bar counter runs the full length of the service wall. White HPL on moisture-resistant MDF faces the baristas. Natural Baltic birch plywood with matte clear lacquer faces the customer. The material split follows function: the service side resists moisture and repeated cleaning. The customer side shows warm, natural grain consistent with the oak and pine already present in the space.

The filter station is a freestanding birch plywood unit with floating shelves and an integrated sink, built into an alcove off the main bar. The wall-mounted window bar counter runs the glazed facade in the same European White Oak as the communal table. Above the exposed brick, a suspended steel plant shelf spans the room's full length as a continuous dark channel at 2.3 metres above finished floor, housing trailing greenery along the entire seating wall.
