01 · The story

A coffee bar with personality

IYKYK sits inside Fern, a flower shop and concept store. The coffee bar needed its own identity, quick and efficient to serve from, yet relaxed enough that guests would want to linger among the flowers.

02 · The inspiration

Green, glossy and playful

The palette pairs glossy green tiles with bright accents of teal and orange, set against soft, light surfaces and plenty of greenery, so the bar feels cheerful and fresh.

03 · The outcome

A reason to stay

The green-tiled counter anchors the space, sculptural seating sits close by, and the colours of the bar flow into the flowers around it. A quick coffee becomes a moment to pause.
