After seeing a nice little photo spread and write up on Reclaimed Mushroom Wood in last month’s NY Times, we pulled this project from the archives.
Pictured left is the counter wrap at OCF Coffee in Philadelphia clad with our reclaimed mushroom wood . Before delivering this very unique material, we added some additional texture by wire brushing each board by hand.
South Street-based OCF Realty, whose gray-and-green property signs hang and flap in pretty much every Philly neighborhood imaginable, is working on opening two coffee shops of its own, though one’s closer than the other. The first OCF Cafe, at 18th and South (a mere three blocks from OCF HQ at 2054 South Street), is expected to open in early February; the space will feature room for 30-35, and will pour Counter Culture coffees in addition to sandwiches and baked goods from as-yet-undetermined purveyors. The second shop is planned for 20th and Federal; same plan, just a little bigger. It should open in the spring; that will be a nice companion biz to the in-the-works American Sardine Bar two blocks east at 18th and Federal.
