Pablo Properties developed the concept for this new, exciting coffee shop based on the word play of “shot”, an explosive item for both pinball and coffee alike. We believed that such a unique new business required custom design to truly embrace the vision of the owner. From the start of the project, our designers took inspiration from the pinball games themselves to create characteristic way-finding features. Our team designed and collaborated with local artisans to create furnishings that used shapes and patterns reflective of arcade culture. Shelter worked with TreePurpose and Larson’s Custom Cabinets to bring to life the CNC routed booth seating and drink ledge features. The tables, chairs and fixtures chosen made sure the space felt fun and quirky, reflective of the passion behind the original business concept for this pinball bar.
