SOBREMESA

PEBBLE.HAUS is a collective founded by two architecture colleagues and myself that mix the sectors of architecture, design and art to create meaningful experiences. We got selected for the London Festival of Architecture 2021 to create a bench that represented the year’s theme: Care. We took inspiration from the word Sobremesa- which in Spanish refers to the post-conversations that take place at the table after sharing a meal, and decided to adapt it to how people have conversations here: through a cup of coffee. By sourcing coffee grounds from different coffee shops to create the dye, we connect the different businesses from the City of London to the public and henceforth, connect with one another.
