Wall surfaces feature a strata motif created using coffee grounds collected from Tully’s Coffee outlets. Additionally, roasted coffee beans that were not selected for sale during the production process are repurposed as counter tops.

The store also utilises upcycled materials from other industries. Pendant lights are crafted from clothing offcuts, while the flooring consists of biomass material derived from eggshells. Seating and other surfaces use leather made from apple residue left over from manufacturing processes. The walls are finished with eco-friendly paint made primarily from soil instead of traditional petroleum-based alternatives. The floor backing also incorporates recycled vinyl from industrial sources.
