Buno Coffee collaborated with Architecture Riot to design its branding and first café located on St. Clair West in the Wychwood neighbourhood of Toronto. Their bold desire to serve specialty coffee is represented in their vibrant brand colours of blue and yellow which crop up in various elevations and are balanced by pure white and polished reflective surfaces.

The interplay of light and metallic textures creates the optical illusion of a much larger retail shop, visually expanding the space and welcoming coffee-lovers in. Inviting neon signage and product displays are thoughtfully designed to maximize commercial traffic and create effective sales while remaining friendly and accessible. Both indoor and outdoor seating address Toronto’s seasonal coffee culture and the need for take-away goods during the pandemic.
