"This is a progression of the brand, but for this project they wanted to go all out on the color. Located in San José, California, the former seafood restaurant was just 1,000 square feet. To produce the condensed maximalist environment that the team envisioned, they approached the line space as a painter's composition and unfolded it into a longitudinal section."
"A sculptural coffee bar is clad in pink perforated metal and wrapped with integrated shelving. Its cylindrical, skirted form organizes the circulation for both customers and back-of-house staff, and serves as a focal point. Lacquers and powder-coat finishes not only keep surfaces clean in high-touch areas, they also provide depth within the tight footprint."
"Curves are repeated overhead and throughout the interior. Pendants with scalloped edges add a playful touch, paired with a squiggle LED inset. Cushioned benches and blue steel tables complete the look. These furnishings are surrounded by wavy wall trims, mirrored at the window ledges."
Studio BANAA created a sixth location for Voyager Craft Coffee in a former 1,000-square-foot seafood restaurant in San José, California. The designers developed a vibrant micro-café inspired by 1980s Italian Memphis style and Pee-wee's Playhouse aesthetics. A sculptural pink perforated metal coffee bar serves as the focal point, organizing customer and staff circulation. Curved elements repeat throughout, including scalloped pendant lights and wavy wall trims. The space features cushioned benches, blue steel tables, and custom murals depicting abstracted topography from Brazil and Ethiopia, where Voyager sources its premium coffee beans. Lacquers and powder-coat finishes maintain cleanliness while creating visual depth in the compact space.
