La Cabra Kampanilen is more than just a café; it’s a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, where every element – including some d line design details – is designed to offer a unique, enduring experience…
Nestled in the vibrant harbour area of Aarhus Ø, you find the café and coffee shop, La Cabra Kampanilen. Located in a blossoming neighbourhood with waterfront apartments and on the ground floor of an iconic building, La Cabra Coffee, founded in Aarhus in 2012, embarked on a journey to redefine coffee culture. By 2013, their curiosity led them to source and roast their own beans, and today, La Cabra is an internationally recognized brand with locations in New York, Bangkok, and Oman. In their home city they can be found in several locations, including La Cabra Kampanilen, an iconic building designed by BIG.

Each La Cabra location is designed by their in-house design team, who make sure to include signature features in all the cafés, that are inspired by their Nordic heritage and by years of travelling – especially the influence of Asian design culture shines through. With their design, the team aims to create complex spaces that reflect their surroundings and context, and the people who use them, “We have an architectural DNA in combination with a very precise setup of equipment and a workflow we try to implement,” said Thomas Stabell, one of La Cabra’s architects. “But we aim to let each location tell its own story through both interior design and the local area we are present in”.

And when entering La Cabra Kampanilen, you cannot help but be struck by the meticulously curated environment. Each detail is thoughtfully designed to evoke tranquillity and comfort – even the playlist has been created for the space. “It is primarily about creating a welcoming atmosphere through materials, colour schemes, acoustics, light, and sound,” explained Stabell. “We aim to create a design with a few simple lines and in a materiality that ages gracefully over time, but without specifically referring to a particular time or style period”.
d line’s timeless and minimalist design aligns perfectly within this design vision and Stabell and the team chose to use d line taps, accessories and barrier-free products in AISI 316 stainless steel because of the “Simplicity, quality and great cohesion between the products, making it easy to implement”.
