'Unique' interior design and cafe-bar concept to launch in Leeds

A new ‘unique’ cafe-bar concept venue is set to launch in the centre of Leeds this autumn.

The Collective, an interior design and cafe-bar concept, is to open at 34 Boar Lane in the centre of Leeds in late autumn.

The café-bar, which is creating 16 jobs, is inspired by the Los Angeles art scene, with all of its furnishings and tableware for sale to its customers.

The Collective deal was brokered by the Leeds office of global property Knight Frank on behalf of Kinrise, owners of the building.

Ellen Pryce of the Collective commented: “The Collective, with 42 covers, is a space to refuel, unwind and discover.

“Inspired by the sun-soaked serenity of the L.A art scene, it will offer a feast of eye-candy for the discerning design junkie with its dreamy interiors and laid-back ambience.

“It will provide our guests with an immersive experience that encourages them to quite literally buy into our brand.

“We have worked hard to source some amazing British companies that produce high-quality hand-crafted furnishings and tableware and it’s exciting that we can allow our to guests to really fall in love with the pieces before they order them for their own home.

“The large majority of everything you see in The Collective will be available to purchase, from the sofas and modern art, to the tables, chairs and even the kitchenware. The food and drinks will match the curated interiors with an Instagram-worthy menu of healthy brunch and lunch options, incredible coffees and classic cocktails.
