Asked to help bring the clients idea’s together, Whitehead’s provided the design assistance for the industrial themed setting of the Student Union’s prestigious coffee bar.

Using Corian Ash Concrete to replicate the stylish urban concrete effect counter tops and with a clever use of timber and ceramic hexagonal tiles to create a 3D effect frontage, a subtle theme unravels.

Modular fixed seating booths allow for the space to transform and provide a performance area for student clubs and societies to entertain. The factory style industrial lighting and furniture provide a flexibility in mood and setting and the clever use of hexagonal tables is a fun way to accommodate both groups or individuals.
