Yeast Bakery

Having initially helped Team Yeast kit out a retail space at their railway arch off Mare Street in Hackney, it was exciting to be involved in their big new move to this beautiful bright cafe space just around the corner. We worked closely with Yeast to bring the project in on time and within their budget.

Design detail, build

The solid iroko shelves sitting on top of the bespoke powder coated metal frames were reclaimed from the old wholesale unit

We also used the reclaimed solid iroko tops and bespoke metal frames for a high table and shelving with a viewing window directly into the bakery to watch the masters at work.
