The café is located in the suddenly urban docklands area. The café’s identity and architecture are entwined, the spatial gymnastics implied by the wallpaper mirroring the ironic ambitions of the franchise name. This idealised three-dimensional space imprints an other-worldly quality on the walls – a backdrop for glowing displays, the relentless warmth of the polished joinery end-grain and the resilient reception of the rich Marmoleum colours underfoot.
