Dining Room

Analine-dyed wood fiber clouds hover over the custom made cafe tables. The central wood floor serves as a dance floor for special occasions.

Morning

Eastern light streams through the irridescent cafe drapery. Indigo colored plywood chairs offset the cherry furniture.

Memory Tables

Mirek Cabinetry's custom made dining tables feature a "shadow box" surface. Tables are filled with meaningful artifacts specific to the neighborhood and the cafe membership. The table top is clear tempered glass.
