Cottle Coffee Malaysia

South Melbourne's Cottle on Coventry (Cottle Coffee) has recently opened a branch at Damansara Uptown. 

We made some custom pieces for the cafe: wooden stools, benches with steel legs and tables with steel hairpin legs. 

   

We also made serving carts that are currently being used for displaying beans, tools and coffee machines.

We'll soon be done with a few more custom pieces.
