VÄN KAFÉ

Material finish for walls and ceilings

In the heart of Singapore, Vän Kafé translates the essential clarity of japandi style into an immersive sensory experience.

The identity of the space is entrusted to the natural cork and clay paints: Decork Mediterraneo and Decork Design.

Challenging the heterogeneity of substrates — plasterboard walls, metal ceilings and cement floors — the coating creates an unprecedented visual and tactile continuity, combining formal clarity, material performance and everyday comfort.
