Wide Awake - Dansaert

A specialty coffee spot rooted in the rhythm of the city.

In the lively Dansaert neighbourhood, Wide Awake has become a go-to address for coffee lovers in Brussels. The space blends specialty coffee culture with a laid-back urban atmosphere where people stop by for an early espresso, meet friends over brunch or take a break during the day. With both indoor seating and a terrace opening onto the street, the café naturally extends into the rhythm of the neighbourhood.

For this project, we created a mix of furniture for both the interior and exterior spaces. Outside, the terrace was furnished with TP01 chairs and stools alongside TP01 bistro tables, designed to handle daily use while keeping a simple, graphic presence on the street. Inside, the atmosphere shifts slightly with custom benches and TU02 bistro tables that structure the seating areas and create comfortable spots to sit, work or chat over coffee.

Working with Wide Awake was a natural fit. Independent cafés often build their identity through small details : the materials, the atmosphere, the way people gather around a table. By producing pieces from reclaimed materials and manufacturing them locally, we bring a layer of meaning to the space, turning everyday furniture into part of the café’s story.
