New York – Multidisciplinary design and production studio Kinfolk has opened a combined studio and café in Brooklyn.
The interior of Kinfolk Studios Brooklyn is furnished using reclaimed wood and a panel separates an upstairs working space from the café below. The studio is described as ‘Williamsburg’s newest premier spot for community, quality and service’, and serves coffee from Seattle’s Caffé Vita.
A small retail space due to open at the studio will host a series of pop-up shops from boutique brands.
Kinfolk is using the café as an extension of its brand, and has created a convivial social space. For more examples of brands using café culture as a social focus, see our Coffee Plus microtrend.
