Opened in 1901, the original Horniman Museum building is a unique example of the "Modern Style". The limestone "Tree of Life" motif, as an emblem of nature in design, provided inspiration for The Horniman Cafe's bespoke metalwork screen. This surrounds a set of new island booth seats to the centre of the cafe, upholstered using recycled wool fabric. Foresso Timber features once again for the Colicci cafe table tops. The sustainable timber terrazzo material captures waste timber to create a natural and textured finish. The central floor has received an eco Cork finish which is carbon negative and also has acoustic properties to allay noise levels in the bustling cafe
