The colorful Mundvoll Cafe and Grocery, located on the Zeppelin University campus in Friedrichshafen, Germany, was inspired by Germany's mom-and-pop grocery stores.
Designed by Maria Meller and Mirja Sick, who run the London-based design studio Joint Perspectives, the interiors are clean and contemporary, with inexpensive plywood and dashes of primary colors playing a key role.

Above: A custom sofa, supported by wooden pallets, was inspired by the area's fruit industry; the three tiers of cushions are strapped down, as if prepared for shipping. Hee Lounge Chairs by Hay provides extra seating and Muuto E27 pendant lights hang from the ceiling.
