In Trikala there is a place called “Cakao” where one can find nuts, dried fruits, chocolate, cereal bars and coffee.

Designed under a basic grid by Studiomateriality, the purity of materials such as wood, metal, tiles and bamboo rattan is highlighted. Jute and other plants act as a natural decoration, creating a harmonic and youthful environment.

We believe that in spatial design lighting is as important as all other tangible elements. Our white and linear lighting forms enhance the purity of the space, accompanied by hype catchphrases;

“have a break, crack a nut or two, add coffee for happiness!”

“hey, look up! we roast nuts only for you”

“dreams are the seeds of change.”

The coffee bar is located on the ground floor, where all the products are showcased. Various plants and printed labeling inform the customer, regarding the origins and the nutritional values of the fruits and nuts.

At the upper level the smell welcomes you warmly as nuts are roasted in a stove.

Complementary to the spatial design Studiomateriality also created a strong visual identity, including the staff’s attires and accessories plus the shop’s utensils.

Now you have an extra reason to visit Trikala!
