We’ve changed things up a lot lately.
We’ve changed things up a lot lately. You know, that whole Brand Evolution thing. One of our major updates is adding triptychs to some cafes in place of our old medallions (the medallions are still around, btw – you can see more on how their built here.)
The triptychs provide a refreshing blast of color to our atmosphere. And the people behind them are just as fascinating as the art. Our incredible designers, The Heads of State, partnered with three local artists to create three panel designs that we then mixed and matched. You can see the different variations at our UPenn, 11th & Locust and Rittenhouse cafes as well as our HQ.
Scroll down to learn about the three artists who built these gorgeous pieces.
