Amazon Teas, the owners of the celebrated international tea brand “English Tea Shop” needed a complete redesign of their corporate offices in Colombo. As a sustainable & fair trade brand, The English Tea Shop follows a policy of “value addition” from “Tip to Cup”.
The design was inspired by the dynamism and youthfulness of the brand & the people behind it. Being a tightly knit group of mostly under forties Amazon Teas is making waves in an industry centuries old and known as Ceylon Tea worldwide.
The interior attempts to celebrate this personality of the brand and its people in a visual and spatial form. Colour schemes, textures, aromas and lighting have been carefully designed to optimize the comfort and work efficiency for the team and encourage interaction and visual connections throughout the spaces.
A free to use open tea bar forms the node connecting different spaces and spreads the thrill of tea all around. Product display units with vibrant colour tea products harmonies with the office interior space. Carefully used materials enhances the beauty of each space concentrating to its functions. Local materials and local craftsmanship were used in all areas including custom furniture which signifies the Sri Lankan legacy.
