Panton Sargent - Designer coffee reaches new creative level with interiors experts Panton Sargent brings atmospheric rebrand to Café Nino’s surroundings

The leading interior design team at Midlands-based Panton Sargent has just unveiled its first work for tasty new client, Café Nino. With the inaugural outlet now open for business in Worcester and the second one in Tunbridge Wells recently completed, these new homes of the popular food and coffee champions offer more welcoming respite.
Panton Sargent’s original brief was to analyse the strength of the existing Café Nino interior brand offering, provide a progressive design proposal and oversee the production of the new interior scheme.
The team visited Café Nino outlets in the initial stages and felt that the quality of the service and product available was not reflected in the environment that had been created. With fierce competition raging in the gourmet coffee market, the brand required a look and feel that was both contemporary and unique to strengthen its high street presence.
After a competitive pitch process, Panton Sargent’s interior designers were awarded the contract to bring their concept to life in more than 120 outlets in the next five years. Project manager, Tom Marlow was clear on the reasons that his team was selected: “We won this business as we could demonstrate the knowledge, capability and resource to deliver the project to a high standard and to budget, within the allotted time scales.”
The intention of the design concept was to create an unimposing space which would enhance the Cafe Nino brand values whilst giving the customer a feeling of quality and exclusivity. At both sites, this was achieved in approximately eight weeks.
The Café Nino franchising concept was established in the United Kingdom in 2005. The first outlet was soon the centre of attraction to executives, shoppers and families alike who enjoyed a wholesome light meal, good coffee and good conversation in an Italian pavement café ambience.
“The interior design concept presented and now delivered by Panton Sargent’s interior design team will give Café Nino the profile it deserves. We don’t want to provide a run of the mill coffee experience but something much more authentic and inviting.” said Café Nino founder and master chef, Shaun Napier.
Panton Sargent Interior Design is rapidly establishing a reputation for its versatility in design within a cross-section of public buildings. As specialists in the healthcare sector, the team is regularly commended on its ability to consult thoroughly throughout all stages, positioning patient privacy and staff environments at the top of their design agenda. The team’s expertise also reaches to cutting edge office space transformations and major workspace refurbishments.
