SATURN COFFEE
Designed as a vibrant, bold atmosphere for their new 750-square-foot space in the New Center neighborhood of Detroit, Saturn Coffee embodies the client's existing branding with bright colors throughout. Introducing radiata pine plywood and stainless steel for fixed millwork elements that wrap the space, these combine with custom seating elements—a bench, custom two-top tables, and a large custom communal table—for a space that feels smooth and seamless. Orange splatter paint that doubles as a high durability finish, bright yellow Emeco chairs, and a green stained plywood table offer playful, space-inspired color pops.
Tucked into the ground floor of a 1920s Albert Kahn apartment building, Saturn Coffee offers a bright contrast to the historic context of the neighborhood.

“Quote about how chelsea and chris worked with us to find creative solutions for this space that embodies what they envisioned for saturn as its first brick & mortar space...molorum venimi, quae pedicia tassite pelessequam estibusam verfero enis mos et moluptatendi ommo dis dolorruptio eations equodignis.”

Text here about construction and budget - how was the design efficient in getting them off the ground quickly? What else can we say that gives this project context as a modest one that’s been embraced by the community? Other fun things we can add about what happens here or about Sarah and Chris?
