Claud W. Dennis, London

Claud W. Dennis is an independent coffee shop in Southgate, London. The design by Avocado Sweets revives many of the shop's original features with cutting-edge technology that is seamlessly incorporated into the vintage look. 

Lighting throughout the design celebrates some of the greatest in British engineering. 1950s Benjamin shades, once used on a car production line, hang above the iPad bar. The counters are illuminated by REVO factory shades, while the imposing salvaged railway station pendant hangs within the rear seating area.
