Project overview
Situated in the heart of London near Piccadilly Circus, coffee shop and co-working space Perks & White offers much-needed respite from busy, bustling streets. Meristem Design designed and delivered a large living plant wall to feature on the mezzanine creating a visually striking space for workers and customers to enjoy.
