EDITION ROASTERS IS QUITE SIMPLY A BEAUTIFUL CANVAS THAT SHOWCASES THE FOOD AND REFERENCES JAPANESE CULTURE AND HISTORIC PLACES IN A WAY THAT IS TANGIBLE WITHOUT BEING MERE PASTICHE. THE DESIGN HAS FED INTO THE BRAND AND THE SUCCESS OF THE BUSINESS AND HAS ALSO SUPPORTED A STRONG SENSE OF COMMUNITY. IT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME, WHICH HAS ONLY IMPROVED AND DEEPENED ITS AUTHENTICITY.
JURY, AUSTRALIAN INTERIOR DESIGN AWARDS, 2021

“THE DINER’S COLOR PALETTE RANGES FROM INKY BLACK TO DARK BROWNS AND LIGHT GRAYS. POLISHED WALLS REFLECT LIGHT AND MAKE THE SPACE NOT GLOOMY, AS IT COULD TURN OUT, BUT MYSTERIOUS. THE SMELL OF CHARRED LOGS COMPLEMENTS THE AROMA OF ROASTED COFFEE BEANS AND DISHES PREPARED ACCORDING TO THE HOME RECIPES OF THE CAFE OWNERS.”

NATALIA KUDRYAVTSEVA, ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST, RUSSIA

“The second edition of this Scandi-Japanese café is a Kyoto cool kid dressed in charcoal black.”

Time Out, Sydney

THIS HUMBLE CAFE EMANATES TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RURAL LIFE, EXISTING IN STARK CONTRAST TO THE MODERNISM THAT SURROUNDS ITS HARBOURSIDE LOCATION. THE HIGHLY TEXTURED YET ALL-BLACK PALETTE SITS DELICATELY UPON A SCULPTURAL ORGANIC INTERIOR THAT HARMONIOUSLY INTERTWINES NATURE, ARTISTRY, BALANCE AND FLOW IN A MANNER THAT CELEBRATES THE IMPERFECT.
