Norwegian Global Cleantech 100 company, Kebony is delighted to unveil its latest project, the Kebony coffee bar, constructed of Kebony's Southern Yellow Pine and complementary architectural titanium, it featured at the Wallpaper* Handmade exhibition Salone Internazionale del Mobile. Exclusively commissioned by Wallpaper*, and working in collaboration with talented young architect Hoi Chi Ng, the bar served coffee to for the duration of the exhibition, appropriate to its surroundings at the contemporary design gallery.

The coffee bar is curved to create a separation between espresso, which is served on one side of the bar, and freshly brewed coffee, which is served on the other, creating two distinct coffee stations. It is part of the ‘Coming Soon Coffee’ project created by Hoi Chi Ng and Matthias Suchert, borne out of their love of coffee. The project aims to experiment with different single origin beans, brewing methods and water to create a unique coffee experience.
