A café and microroastery for Cape Cobra, the South African exotic-leather house, built from the same materials as its bags.
Burgundy marble, dark oak and tan leather, with the roasting line in view of the bar and the bags shown like pieces in a gallery.
Craftsmanship, rarity and authenticity rather than logos.

Every finish is taken from the leather: burgundy and Calacatta marble, ostrich tan, limewash and polished concrete.
A quieter form of luxury: craftsmanship, rarity and authenticity rather than logos.
A Cape Cobra bag is a milestone piece, valued by those who recognise exceptional craft. The café carries that discernment into a room.
Burgundy and Calacatta marble, dark oak, red textured fabric and polished concrete, all taken from the leather.
The roastery sits in view of the bar, and the bags are shown on marble shelves like objects in a gallery.

Every colour and finish in the café was drawn from the leather itself.
