Retro Steampunk South Africa Truth Cafe Design

Truth Cafe is a very famous and popular coffee shop in Cape Town, South Africa. A cursory look at a few pictures shows that this style is a bit like "steampunk". Yes, this is the inspiration that designer Haldane Martin takes from Steampunk.

Designers use a large number of old metal tubes and old machine parts to create a novel mechanical coffee making room. The own coffee making machine is also a very sophisticated old-fashioned instrument, combined with metal tubes exposed next to the bar. The whole mechanical coffee making room is mainly lost around the old roaster, very whole, plus the treatment of the whole space is very old, including wooden floor plates, steel beams, walls, doors and windows. Even furniture, so that it can look new and nostalgic. Cloth decoration is also very interesting, most of them are old-fashioned things, such as typewriters, sewing machines, bicycles, steampunk masks, etc., with frameless illustrations and old-fashioned posters hanging on the walls and posts. It is really interesting to decorate a coffee shop in such a "steampunk" style.

As the name of the coffee shop implies, the Truth Coffee chain has a strong belief and even makes it transparent. Colleagues in the development of the coffee shop challenge tradition, using the machines placed everywhere in the shop to provide the best quality coffee in the most simple way, which can be perceived from the decorative environment of the store. Metal pipes and second-hand old machines create the most impressive old industrial atmosphere, which the shopkeeper thinks is the truth that coffee can convey. Coffee from the choice of raw materials, and then to the production, brand creation, people admire the refreshing nature of the beverage itself, and coffee as a beverage in the process, the development of the mature stage of production is like this-machine intervention. The design of the space focuses on old-fashioned baking, roasting ovens, cast iron pots, etc., reproducing the mellow coffee that has been withdrawn since the 1970s in the form of convective hot drinks in steel buckets, paying attention to these details. This is also where the chain brand stands out. Mottled wooden floors, metal beams, gridded furnishings, dim lighting and hanging-as-you-go pick-up methods not only provide convenience for producers, but also enhance the scope of use of the space. it is exciting to create a private club-style industrial sense in this original warehouse.

There are so many unexpected things in this space that designers interpret it from all aspects in the best way. For example, that super-huge coffee bean, when you see it, it will immediately attract all your senses. At a casual glance, you can see extremely retro posters on the walls, metal pipes and old-fashioned sewing machines running everywhere, and designers smear special paint on metal materials to improve their brightness and reflectiveness. capture more two points in this relatively dark space, adding a gorgeous atmosphere. Designers decorate with peeling wood, rusty scrap metal, green paint and leather seats where they need filling, and they hope that such a design can be done over time without making it look out-of-date. The gorgeous all-leather armchair and bar collide with a standard coffee shop in an intimate and grand atmosphere. This standard coffee shop, through the use of special decorative gadgets to create love and passion, is the preferred place for products and tasting.
