# Artificial Textural Cafe Interiors Niceworkshop Designed the Interiors for HaHouse Cafe By Amy Duong | Published 2024-07-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hahouse-cafe References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/07/28/niceworkshop-hahouse-cafe-seoul-interior/)  South Korean design studio Niceworkshop was the mind behind the [minimal interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bottle-coffee-shinsaibashi) for the HaHouse Cafe located in Seoul. The space is defined by concrete walls and stainless steel furniture that have been designed to reflect the [wood grain textures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estilio) in an artificial way. The wood grain patterning has been etched onto the geometric seating and tables originally made with a stainless steel. The silver finish is retained to have an [industrial look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ssoc-seoul) offset by the textural contrast. The designer speaks about the design process and how it was seamlessly blended together. "The wood inside HaHouse Cafe serves as the basis for the texture that expresses nature. It bridges the modern urban environment with nature, symbolising their coexistence."
