Parma Café by Andrew Waller Design

August 17th, 2011

Wollongong’s Crown Street mall is set to get a revamp early next year as part of a major development to bring more life and colour to this key public thoroughfare.

It’s fitting, then, that this new café fit-out from Andrew Waller Design, located in Wollongong’s Crown Street shopping centre, embodies the fresh, modern design aesthetic that will soon come to characterise the surrounds.

The designers had previously worked with the same client on another café fit out in North Ryde. Whereas this one had a natural material palette, Parma Café employs strong colours and graphic imagery to stand out against the other retail spaces in the centre.

The colour scheme features yellow highlights against a background of black, white and grey.

Honey-coloured timber hints at the City Centre’s beach-side location.

A new graphic concept ties the whole scheme together, incorporating the colour palette and a ’coffee stain’ imagery.
