hcreates recently opened a new café for Mini Cuppa in the striking Zaha Hadid Sky Soho development in Hongqiao, Shanghai. The client wanted a youthful and cozy space to attract the young professionals in the surrounding office towers. When hcreates first started to learn about Mini Cuppa, they immediately noticed their range of creative drinks and snacks that were very eye-catching. Design Director Hannah Churchill said the creative process was ignited by the products. “We kept going back to this one bubble-tea image, the layers, texture and colours formed within the tea had a really interesting and playful imagery. We couldn’t help but let that influence the design aesthetic for the space”.
