Location: Teavana, Seattle, WA, USA
Created By: Starbucks, IWS
Featured Process: Illuminated Features
Notes:
Before its acquisition by Starbucks, Teavana spent 20 years as a specialty tea bar and high-end retailer, known for its premium products and sophisticated store aesthetics.
For one location, surfaceLAB was tasked with creating illuminated "floating shelves" to showcase loose-leaf tea canisters. Collaborating with casework company IWS, surfaceLAB developed a sleek, cantilevered design that integrated lighting seamlessly. Once the design was finalized, surfaceLAB fabricated all components for IWS to install, bringing the vision to life.
