Coffee with Designers

Over coffee, life imitates design

Every week, Ja Architecture’s Nima Javidi and Behnaz Assadi and a revolving group of designers, architects and more gather at Forno Cultura’s Queen West location. Conversation is unfixed and touches on everything from the chairs they’re sitting on to Iranian politics. The interior likewise contains multitudes: the “alternative baking space” was formerly a condo sales centre, a mechanic’s garage and maybe even a house. And with retail and a bakery, it’s still a shared space.
