Bean Haus Cafe

For all those coffee-lovers out there, Bean Haus cafe is the place to visit in Redfern. Designed by Hammond Studio, Bean Haus is set within the walls of a 19th century warehouse building, featuring an interior that plays skilfully with the site's original bones, using oak timber and brass screening elements.

Manned by a skilled coffee team, the street-facing espresso bar and cafe is often abuzz with laughter and chatter from the loyal locals or passers-by who need a caffeine hit or a bite to eat. Bean Haus acts as a gateway into the Design Nation showroom that showcases furniture and lighting collections from world-class international and local designer brands. Acting as a living exhibition itself, Bean Haus displays furniture and lighting pieces on offer from Design Nation that can be used as well as viewed up close and personal – instead of just assembled and on display.

CONSTELLATION lighting by Anaesthetic and a TWEE T pendant by Casamania are suspended from the ceiling. TONDINA chairs in black, designed by Favaretto & Partners for Infiniti Design, surround custom tables by Design Nation, which complement the beautifully designed interior space.
