# Airy Teahouse Concepts The Rabbit Hole is a Whimsical Organic Tea Bar in Australia By Rebecca Byers | Published 2016-01-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teahouse-concept References: [retaildesignblog.net](http://retaildesignblog.net/2016/01/14/the-rabbit-hole-organic-tea-bar-by-matt-woods-design-redfern-australia/) This quaint teahouse concept is a stunning example of the design language associated with the Japanese art of [Kintsugi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kintsugi-collection), a "celebration of the beauty of imperfection in ceramic objects and which means to join with gold." The [Rabbit Hole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-hole-distillery) Organic Tea Bar is located in Redfern, Australia and challenges convention by reinventing the teahouse experience. The light, airy space is characterized by its floor-to-ceiling windows that allow an expanse of natural lighting that, in combination with the white walls, opens up the room entirely. There is also a specialty tea display that is a custom installation comprised of Kintsugi bowls sitting atop oak timbers. The Rabbit Hole was realized by [Matt Woods Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matt-steves1), who succeeded in translating a traditional art form into a dynamic, inviting space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Kintsugi-inspired Design:** Create products or spaces that celebrate imperfections and use gold to join broken parts, inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi. - **Sustainable Tea Experiences:** Develop innovative concepts for tea bars or teahouses that prioritize organic, sustainable, and ethically sourced tea products. - **Minimalist and Light-filled Spaces:** Design spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows and white walls to create open, airy atmospheres filled with natural lighting. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** Explore new opportunities to incorporate Kintsugi-inspired elements into interior design projects, such as custom installations or furniture design. - **Tea Industry:** Transform the tea experience by creating sustainable tea bars or teahouses that offer unique, organic tea products in inviting and aesthetically pleasing spaces. - **Architecture:** Incorporate minimalist design principles and floor-to-ceiling windows into architectural projects to create light-filled and open spaces that promote a sense of calm. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tea-Honoring Angular Libraries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-xi-2.md) - [Lantern-Like Tea House Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-house-pavilion-1.md) - [Ethereal Ambiance Speakeasies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artifact-bar.md) - [Wabi-Sabi-Informed Green Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glassware.md) - [Minimalist Café Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/12-matcha-caf.md) - [Surrealist-Inspired Tea Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection.md) - [Immersive Boba Tea Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yoozoo.md) - [Cross-Influence Fusion Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/challe-caf.md) - [Dynamic Layered Interior Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-tondo.md)
