Blue Bottle Coffee, Fairfax

at 830 N. Fairfax Ave 90046

Inspired by the neighborhood’s music scene, we looked to Dieter Rams and his design of the iconic SK4 Record Player for Braun. The various textures across the café’s service bar resemble different panels of a machine, with a team of baristas appearing to work inside of it. Pops of orange at the pick-up station echo Rams’ method of highlighting important functions with bright colors.
