Designed by Will Erens, the founder of the Puresang design studio, the cafe is meant to resonate with the beer by emulating its traditional crafting and strong flavor. Erens explains that he used loam, "one of the oldest building materials in history," to create an environment of warmth and serenity. The [exposed brick wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ironworks-caf) is a nod to the old brewery, giving the cafe a cozy ambiance that may be old-fashioned, but definitely isn't boring. The [prismatic stain glass ceilings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/provostry) of the Duvelorium Cafe and the arching windows creates excitement and makes the cafe look like a house of worship. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Classic-church-like Bars:** Creating bars that incorporate traditional architectural elements, such as stain glass ceilings and arching windows, to provide a unique and exciting drinking experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cafe Industry:** Cafes can incorporate traditional architectural elements to create a unique and cozy ambiance that attracts customers. - **Craft Beer Industry:** Craft beer companies can collaborate with designers to create bar spaces that reflect the traditional crafting and flavor experience of their products. - **Architectural Design Industry:** Architectural designers can explore opportunities to incorporate traditional elements into modern spaces, such as bars and cafes, to create a nostalgic and unique atmosphere. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modernist Art-Deco Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watchhouse-caf.md) - [Concealed Modern Barrel Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nine-architects.md) - [Beer-Filled Bath Spas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bath-barley-spa.md) - [Ultra-Luxurious Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cravan-cocktail-bar.md) - [Boldly Designed Minimal Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinklu.md) - [Eclectic Bistro Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deux-gares-express-caf.md) - [Classic Parisian Bistro Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-cornichon.md) - [Dynamic Layered Interior Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-tondo.md) - [Tavern-Style Glassware Showrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobo.md)
