The Barn is now offering a pop-up store coffee bar inside of Japanese retailer Uniqlo's Berlin flagship store.
The collaboration is a fitting one, since The Barn's founder has roots in Japan and makes a point to use Haro equipment to showcase the artful brewing process. As The Barn's Ralf Rüller describes, "The Japanese element has always been there in all our philosophy and in everything we do."
The pop-up store coffee bar is simple in its design, featuring just a few machines, two baristas and branding that emphasizes the collaboration between The Barn and Uniqlo. With the expansion of global coffee culture, more consumers are looking to get a taste of modern café experiences, which this in-store pop-up perfectly supplies.
