I posted a story about the graphic identity for Melbourne cafe, Mr Tulk a little while ago. I found some interior shots I had taken on a recent visit.
Great space. Great coffee.
The wispy lines and swirly shapes of the Mr Tulk identity get applied all over the interior walls of the cafe. Graffiti meets wallpaper; there’s always something new for your eye to take in. I like the green fixture – the scale of that light is really unique and unexpected. The look of the light is slightly retro but the color and proportion make it feel modern.
Pick up your drinks at the copper bar.
One of the seating arrangements features a communal bar along the wall and a tall table. Note the exposed bulb fixtures dangling overhead. The spare black lines formed by the cords pick up on the wall treatments.
The main room at Mr Tulk features additional table seating along the wall, a large communal work table with red stools and unique lamps and a tiny table with a couple of brown metal stools in the foreground. Double-height windows saturate the space in natural light. Note the additional future-retro fixture attached to the wall in the upper left of the picture, this one is black. Adding the two steps up makes a nice division to the space.
