Hey big spender next time you’re in London’s first-rate Tate Modern Gallery [Bankside, SE1 9TG] check out the newly designed café/bar located on the first floor.
You and Princess "X" have just ordered flutes of Coates & Seely Brut Reserve English Sparkling wine and placed it on the new cafe/bar tables. Now, take note that the cabaret tables (pictured above) were made from repurposed coffee grounds from the gallery's trash bins.
How?
Tate Modern in London recently unveiled its refurbished all-day ground-floor corner café and bar. Added is an opening onto an outdoor summer terrace and for the first time, the Corner Café will offer visitors a place for an evening drink overlooking the Thames.
London-based architecture studio Holland Harvey handled the redesign, which included a clever use of recycled “spent” coffee grounds to create bespoke table tops by Spared, a London design firm specializing in furnishings and products from recycled materials.
Originally roasted by Tate Britain’s roastery, the coffee grounds redux were baked at a low temperature to remove any moisture before being mixed with oyster shells and a water-based gypsum binder. More on Spared’s recycle products: @SPARED.ECO
