Stella Collective "brings the outside in" for seaside cafe interior
Melbourne interior design studio The Stella Collective has paired lush green foliage with stark white walls for this cafe in Brighton, UK, which is designed to feel like a jungle.
The jungle-themed interior, which the designers have coined "botanical punk", was designed forBrighton's oldest coffee house Red Roaster ? headed by Michelin-starred chef Matt Gillan.
The cafe, which is located in an old Post Office building, features tropical plants and skylights. The Botanical Punk theme was conceived in response to the UK's cool climate.
"Botanical Punk was born out of a necessity of being at the mercy of UK winters, when outdoor dining can be brutal," explained Hana Hakim of The Stella Collective, which worked together with London Architects Studio C102Â to complete the interior. "I wanted to bring the outside in, so it can be enjoyed all year round," she continued.
The Stella Collective inserted tropical trees and planting that grows across the ceiling on a black steel frame to create a canopy over the dining areas. Spread throughout the cafe, the foliage is amplified by mirrored wall panels.
The greenery is offset with clean, white gridded tiles that feature an illustration of a giant goat's skull.
According to the designers, this feature was added in order to "bring back the rock n roll sensibility to the space uniting the two worlds of nature and punk together".
