The brief
Sixty people eat lunch here and, once a month, hold an all-hands. Green-grey cabinets, a hex-tile backsplash and grasscloth walls keep it warm. The round tables stack against the wall in ten minutes.
The kitchenette is open shelving and a few appliances, so it never turns into a cupboard of leftovers. The brown leather chairs are the only dark note, and in a staff café they get used every day.
The move that made it
Grasscloth on every wall, to take the noise out of sixty people eating at once.
