We go way back with Josh and Okende, back to their first coffee shop in West Bridgford and the early days of Boyes Design when we we’re a team of just two, so it feels particularly special to have designed and made their new space on Broad Street in Nottingham.
Originally two separate retail units, we opened up the interior and placed the bar at the centre, connecting both sides of the space and creating a natural flow from ordering through to sitting down.
The making of coffee is part of the experience here, with the open bar designed so the team can stay connected with customers as they work.
Natural oak, brushed stainless steel, terracotta and exposed concrete create a simple, warm palette, with bespoke joinery, display and lighting designed throughout.
A new space for Okende, with a familiar feel.
We’re really proud of how this one has come together, with some really talented teams alongside us, taking on the bar and the tiling.
A huge congratulations to Josh and the whole Okende team, it was such a pleasure as always to work alongside you.
Make sure you go and have a look for yourself, and for the love of all do yourself a favour and get a pastry with your coffee, their bakery is also insanely good.
