# Surfer Cafe Hybrids 'Open' is a New Surf-Friendly Establishment in Saint Agnes, Cornwall By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-03-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-hybrid References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/03/15/open-surf-shop-emily-mark-anderson-cornwall/) & [open.surf](https://open.surf/) As brands focus on collaboration and establishments are seeking to introduce the greatest convenience-focused value to their consumers, [cafe hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-coffee-shop) have become quite a popular phenomenon. From the coffee house-jewelry shop combination to the co-working-friendly cafe, there are many instances where services have been combined in a seamless, interesting and time-saving manner. 'Open' is one such cafe hybrid that embraces [surf culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-sea). The business is managed by Emily and Mark Anderson and it spotlights a contemporary all-white minimalist interior. The additional service is introduced to the business as previously the space "[functioned as a surfboard factory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ironworks-caf) [...] that had become run-down over the years." Although they didn't have any previous experience in design, Emily and Mark overhauled the space and created a slick, elegant and welcoming aesthetic for the surf shop and cafe hybrid.
