Real cafés, small enough for the counter
We design a little copy of a café's shopfront or counter in 3D, then print it in pieces that click together. A cup sits on a real keyboard switch, so it clicks when you press it, and an NFC tag inside opens the café's menu, reviews or Instagram with a tap of a phone. Here are two we've made for East London businesses.
The espresso shop
Their shopfront in miniature: the cream fascia, the red band and a sign for their name in red script (left blank here), with an espresso machine on top. Press either cup and it clicks. Hold a phone flat on the cup rack and it opens their menu, Instagram and reviews.
- 5.3 × 4.4 × 6.2 cm. 6 pieces: base, machine, cup rack, shopfront and 2 cups. The NFC tag sits under the cup rack.
- Machine slides onto the base from the back and clicks in
- Shopfront slides down into the front; cup rack drops in on top
- NFC tag hidden under the cup rack: hold a phone flat on top and it opens their link
- SAY HI! QR code underneath, for phones without NFC
The coffee hatch
Based on their station coffee hatch: a black and white awning, a banner for their name (left blank here) and a sack of their beans by the counter. Press the takeaway cup and it clicks. Tap a phone on the roof and it opens the link they choose, like their reviews.
- 7.4 × 6.8 × 7.2 cm. 7 pieces: base, wall, roof, banner, awning, coffee sack and cup. The NFC tag sits in the roof.
- Wall slides onto the base from the back and clicks in, flush with the base
- Banner slides down into its groove; the roof locks it in
- NFC tag hidden in the roof: tap a phone on top and it opens their link
- SAY HI! QR code underneath, for phones without NFC
