The challenge

Fernwood Coffee Co. had taken on a long, narrow unit with very little natural light. They wanted a café that felt warm and welcoming throughout the day and a brand that could grow into future sites.

Our approach

We developed the interior and the brand together, using planting, warm timber and layered lighting to draw people deeper into the space, with a visual identity that echoes the same materials.

  • A living plant wall that runs the length of the café
  • Bespoke joinery and seating designed for both quick visits and long stays
  • A flexible brand system for menus, packaging and signage

“People walk in and stay. The interior and the brand feel like they were made for each other — because they were.”
