Commercial: The Tea Garden

Description: This cafe was designed with tea drinkers in mind. It is a university hang-out featuring a stage for musical or other performances, an outdoor garden terrace, and a variety of seating arrangements for every mood. The concept of the tea garden, taking clues from Japanese styling, includes low pull-out tray tables which are sat around on pillows, cafe chairs made of woven fibers, and Japanese lanterns for accent lighting.
