Our scopeConcept sketches & build

Rx Coffee Apothecary's brand looks back to the old-world pharmacy, so the cart does too. We built it like a classic vendor's wagon: warm timber, a deep red band trimmed in brass, oversized spoked wheels and a curved canopy on brass posts.

It started as hand-drawn concept sketches, and the finished cart follows them closely, down to the brass lines and the Rx monogram at the centre of each wheel.

01Sketch to build

The design was worked out in hand-drawn sketches of both sides: the customer side with its wheels and monogram, and the barista side with storage behind three doors. The build follows them closely.

02Build & materials

The body curves at both ends and is wrapped in timber veneer, with a red band between brass trim lines. The wheels are decorative, built and painted to look like the real thing, while the cart moves on castors hidden underneath.
