Bean & Bite – Washington, DC

Isaac Kremer/ March 4, 2014/ placemaking, storefront/ 0 comments

Consistent use of materials in cash wrap and islands for service creatively activate the space. Drop pendants provided accent lighting for an already well lit space. Grab and go fridge and self serve coffee stands required less direct handling by staff.

In store signage featured sizes and prices on an underutilized wall space. Wall surfaces were transformed into tools to express the brand story through image, text, and placement.

Postscript

While this store closed some time after our visit in 2014, the brand lives on and the store has found a new location in DC.
