Pineapple and Bears - Birtley, UK

We’re thrilled to unveil our latest bespoke installation for Pineapple and Bears; a premium play café concept that seamlessly blends imaginative design with family-friendly functionality. Building on the success of their first site, this second location represents an evolution of the original design, incorporating refined details and custom features while remaining true to the brand’s distinctive aesthetic and playful spirit.

True to our commitment to craftsmanship and creativity, the main structural frame has been clad in a carefully curated mix of materials, forms, and textures. These elements combine harmoniously to create a bold visual centrepiece that captures the essence of the Pineapple and Bears identity. More than just eye-catching, this bespoke structure provides layered play experiences, encouraging exploration, interaction, and open-ended fun for young visitors.

At the heart of the space lies a dynamic and engaging play zone, anchored by the custom-designed ‘bears’ den’, a sculptural play feature complete with climbing elements and a slide, offering endless opportunities for energetic play. Surrounding this focal point is a spacious area intentionally designed to support free movement, imaginative role-play, and social interaction, allowing children to let off steam while parents enjoy a relaxing coffee and cake experience. 

For the youngest guests, a dedicated baby soft play area provides a nurturing, tactile environment complete with age-appropriate activities and a cosy reading pod where families can enjoy quiet moments together. Every inch of the design has been carefully considered to offer comfort, safety, and sensory stimulation appropriate for different developmental stages.

This project not only reinforces our ability to deliver visually compelling, brand-aligned environments, it also demonstrates our unique strength in tailoring play solutions to suit specific client visions and operational goals. The result is a sophisticated, high-quality space that enhances the visitor experience while celebrating the brand’s personality.

We wish Pineapple and Bears every success as they open their second location and look forward to collaborating on future projects. If you’re looking to create a standout play café or family destination, get in touch with our expert team. We’d love to help bring your vision to life.
