Starbucks has just unveiled their concept store, The Bank, in Amsterdam. Starbucks design director Liz Muller has definitely jumped on the sustainable and reclaimed trend. Walls are lined with antique Delft tiles, bicycle inner-tubes and wood ginger bread molds. Re-purposed Dutch oak is used to make benches, tables and an undulating ceiling relief consisting of 1876 pieces of individually sawn blocks. Is this the future of Starbucks?
