Happy Summer Everyone,
I hope you are all enjoying the weather and making time for some R&R. Although I have taken some vacation time, I have also been working at my usual pace. One of the newest and exciting projects this summer has been the launch of the Contract line for FZ Collection. After, the residential line was on display at The Lucida, I had an opportunity to meet with Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to design custom furniture pieces for their new flagship store in New York City. You might recognize this coffee company from its West Coast locales. They are opening their new venue this August. Be sure to check out the store on Broadway and 39th Street.
One of the first pieces that I have designed is the “Signature Coffee Bean Chair”, which has a hand-carved design on the back part reminiscent of a coffee bean dimple. Adding to the coffee farm motif, are the custom upholstered banquettes in burlap with the printed names of the coffee plantations that contribute to Coffee Bean’s product line. The table tops have been made to order as well with the company logo embossed using an acid application. The amber, gold color of the table top makes you think of a warm cup of coffee or tea.
Take a look at the photos below to see how the process comes about.
Be sure to check back on my blog to see how all of the pieces from FZ Contract Collection come together to form Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf's new store!
