CONTEXT
Bru, a vibrant coffee and gelato cafe, was born from the transformation of a historic building in Cardiff’s city center. The design concept centers around the tagline “Sip. Bite. Repeat.” and the brand’s signature orange hue. The heart of the cafe is a bespoke teal counter, a multifunctional element that serves as a focal point and a testament to the cafe’s artisanal approach.

DESIGN ELEMENT
Counter: The custom teal counter is the centerpiece, embodying the brand’s vibrant personality. Its shape is echoed by an overhead expanded metal mesh structure finished in a bold orange, reinforcing the brand’s visual language.
Sustainability: The counter is embraced by vertical timber slats on the backboard, introducing a natural, sustainable element that complements the organic coffee offerings.
Functionality: The back counter area is thoughtfully designed to maximize efficiency and showcase the cafe’s diverse menu. A well-organized sequence of waffle makers, blenders, coffee machines, grinders, and other equipment ensures a smooth workflow.
The Brew Cafe project is a harmonious blend of heritage and modernity. The design successfully balances the brand’s playful identity with the building’s historical character, resulting in a unique and inviting space that encourages customers to “See. Sip. Repeat.”
