The Linen Weaver
Cork

For the design of its latest bar in the Republic of Ireland KDPA took inspiration from the industrial heritage of the building and the relaxed cafe culture of its surroundings.

Located in a busy pedestrianised area of Cork city centre populated by bars, cafes and fashion stores KDPA wanted to create an authentic industrial look that would reflect the buildings origins and encourage exploration of its three floors and various ante rooms.

The centrepiece to the scheme is a steel bar back fitting that rises through a three storey void with a factory style access gantry at first floor level. Bespoke contemporary furniture is mixed with eclectic vintage pieces creating a quirky, inviting feel to the interior balanced against the raw industrial elements.
