London's luxury department store Harrods is the host to the new Fendi Caffé with the help of Joshua Vides, an artist based in Los Angeles. The fifth floor of the retailer features a three-room pop-up installation that fully functions as a cafe, offering luxury leather designs, antipasto, and lattes.
The space is themed around the fashion house, with branding details adorned throughout the decor. The highlighting logo is seen across the walls, furniture, plates, floor, tables, and crockery. The baked goods are also made to look like Fendi bags with the lattes finished with logo-themed powder. Notably, there is also a Fedi Peekaboo Bar that welcomes customers to create their custom iteration of the Mini Peekaboo handbag. Guests can select from a vast variety of colors and materials up until July 28th whereas the entire Fendi Caffé pop-up is set to run until the end of August.
