<![CDATA[Food places today are not only used as spaces for eating and drinking, but also function as social spaces that shape patterns of interaction. One example is Warung Pelan-Pelan in Yogyakarta, which appears as both a food place and a shared space that carries a more casual approach through its design, daily activities, and stories shared on social media. This study aims to understand how the space in Warung Pelan-Pelan creates meaning through its interior elements. This research uses a qualitative method with a semiotic approach based on Roland Barthes. Data were collected through visual observation of spatial elements using photo documentation and relevant social media content. The analysis is carried out through three levels of meaning: denotation, connotation, and myth. The results show that interior elements such as materials, spatial layout, and social activities do not only function in a practical and visual way, but also create meanings of togetherness, openness, and an alternative view toward the fast rhythm of modern life. These findings confirm that interior space can be understood as a medium of cultural communication that works through the visual and social experiences of its users.]]>
