    Society Café

    buzzy bristol

    Extending the success of family-owned, coffee specialists Society Cafe debuts a buzzy second addition in the heart of Bristol, designed and built by Shape Studio. Within the space oversized Richlite panels create a sleek bar worktop, hand finished to a leathered texture and designed to last within the quick-pace of a thriving city. The paper composite material's mottled leathery look and feel complement the brand's palette of warm tones and use of natural materials like white ash timber, textured steel, and sleek porcelain tiles.
