Camper Coffee Co.

We like the style of the Camper Coffee Co. who were serving their slow drip filter coffee from a 4 cup brew bar set up alongside a suburb split screen VW camper at the Exeter Food Festival last weekend.

The camper has immediate nostalgic style in its wonderfully restore livery and is a great visual draw with the rough hewn timber counter providing a natural and down to earth feel.  The waistcoats are a nice touch.  These chaps have style.



















The VW camper is one of a number of classic utilitarian vehicles that food and drink purveyors have taken to providing mobility and style to their products.  We'll be blogging more about some of the others we've found.  This 1964 VW Camper split screen container van has been lovingly restored and provides a wonderful centrepiece for their business.
 

Wheels of Steel

"I want candy" by Bow Wow Wow.  Hey!

My things

We like the photographic visuals created by artist Hong Hao, there are filled with objects from his life and represent over 20 years of accumulation. The final result is graphically powerfull, reflecting a person through everyday ordinary objets.

Wall Magic

Always a fan of a cheeky wall finish we love the interior of The Urban Wood in Bristol.  Tucked away off the main drag its got a New York bar feel to it mixed with British humour and quirky idiosyncrasy.  A relaxed back room is viewed through a beautifully proportioned georgian sash window.  I know, most people would have knocked it through to create access but by retaining the window they've maintained the intimate spaces and created a delightful view through.

Friendly staff and great food and drinks make this a must.

Recycling solution

Here at Forster Inc we really think recycling is important. In a project there is always something you can re-use, transform, and make more interesting...
Office equipment and unwanted IT could be a probleme, as they often bulky and quit polluting, RCS is an "Environment Agency registered to carry hazardous waste and provide all clients with the correct Environment Agency paperwork".

Brand alignment

Companies looking to maximise the potential and impact of their brand should always consider the importance of their working environment as part of the brand experience.  We've worked with lots of companies helping them implement their brand values within their working environment.  The interior should be a physical embodiment of the brand both in terms of the visual impact/aesthetics and the use of space.

Here's a visual guide to how to match furniture finishes to your brand palette, matching the proportions of use that you'll see in your printed documents and website.  This continuity reinforces the brand experience and enables your working environment to be a fully integrated part of your brand without the need to plaster your logo everywhere.

Its a scaleable approach, easy to understand and implement.  You can see this approach in action with our refurbishment of the ACCA offices in Glasgow.

Boxes

 Designed by Boston architects NADAAA, Aesop Fillmore Street draws inspiration from pre-twentieth century apothecaries. All the boxes are bespoke, their size depend of the product shown inside. The result is a geometric and graphic wall where we can feel the relation between space and product.
