At café ’t Kanon, the devil is in the details.
Balancing between historical references and avant-garde details, the new interior aims to be timeless. The established value that the old Café 't Kanon was and the new 2021 version go hand in hand. A new central horseshoe-shaped bar and wooden ceiling enter into a spatial dialogue with the original curved façade. It subtly divides the space into two cosy seating areas. The old terrazzo floors and glass windows have been carefully restored and complemented by warm mahogany walls and ceilings that recall the old iconic bars of the 50s; while the hand-polished metal, mirror and glass details bring a futuristic touch, a sense of movement and shimmering spaciousness. Even in the bathroom, an old ceramic sink and funky glass lamps from the 70s find their place alongside eclectic marble tiles. All with a subtle streak of light around the bar and vintage lamps that reference the cannonball.
Tout feu tout flamme.
