The artwork with a disk-sun rising from the horizon of the rainforest, highlights a soft area with sofas. A large metal "cloud" above the counter sets the movement direction of guests and indicates the pick up area. Calm gray walls work as a monochrome background for the brand's rich colors and draw attention to decorative elements.
