Description:

The Boba Bear Bubble Milk Tea project by Patrick Lam from Upper Studio showcases the use of Corian “Concrete” in the counter and column, providing a modern and easily maintained space for both customers and staff.

The primary goal was to create an expansive counterfront that not only enhances customer service but also introduces transparency to operational activities. The client sought a modern aesthetic coupled with easy maintenance.

Corian emerged as the ideal solution, meticulously fabricated to fulfill the need for a spacious and functional serving area. The seamless and refined Corian counter, in the chosen “Concrete” color, anchors the entire design. Its non-porous nature, easy maintenance, and the repairability made it a perfect fit for the demanding food service industry.

The project goes beyond a mere counter installation by extending Corian to clad the column. This innovative approach includes a recessed illuminated signage, adding both functionality and visual interest. The choice of Concrete as the main color for the counterfront is complemented by strategically placed black steel negative panels.

The extensive seamless counter space became a standout feature of the project. Additionally, the integration of Corian onto the column demonstrated the versatility of the material, allowing for the incorporation of different elements into the counterfront, whether recessed or prominently displayed.

The innovative use of Corian Concrete creates a sophisticated and easily maintainable space for Boba Bear Bubble Milk Tea.

DARK COLOUR DESIGN CONSIDERATION

Putting dark colour benchtops and cabinetry panels into direct sunlight applications can affect the substrate performance in terms of product movement.
