YSG adds 1970s-style elements to Sydney’s Superfreak cafe

🏠 Australian studio YSG redesigned the Superfreak cafe in Sydney's Marrickville, transforming an old ice cream factory into a vibrant space with a 1970s aesthetic, featuring carpet-lined seating, cork flooring, and high-gloss green paint. Vintage furniture pieces add to the retro ambiance, including a maple timber banquette with inbuilt storage and a record player. A statement lamp by artist Autumn Casey and rice paper lanterns illuminate the cafe, while a mural by Creative Finish adorns the bar area. The exterior facade echoes the interior's green color scheme, complete with a coffee hatch for takeaway orders.
