Why Retro?: Retro holds a special place in the founder's life, serving as a nostalgic link to their roots and the cherished memories of yesteryears. It brings a sense of joy and comfort, evoking feelings of familiarity and warmth. Embracing retro elements reminds us of simpler times and allows us to appreciate the past while living in the present. Whether it's through vintage aesthetics or classic tunes, retro serves as a timeless connection to our history and a source of inspiration for the future. It symbolizes the enduring appeal of tradition and the enduring power of nostalgia.
Why red?: Red is a classic and timeless color that holds a special place in retro aesthetics. It is the favorite color of the founder, adding a touch of nostalgia to any retro-inspired setting. In retro cafes, red is a prominent hue that brings a sense of warmth and vintage charm to the decor. The combination of red with chrome accents further enhances the retro vibe, creating a visual feast for patrons. This retrolistic color scheme is not just about looks, but also about evoking a sense of nostalgia and paying homage to the iconic design elements of the past.
Why an arcade?: Gaming is ingrained in the founder's life, with a special affinity for retro gaming. Stepping into an 80s or 90s arcade evokes a unique nostalgia - the clinking of coins, the arcade machines buzzing, and the hazy atmosphere (despite being smoke-free) all contribute to the experience. Having our own arcade was a necessity, shaping the retro-inspired environment where we work and create. It's not just a hobby, but a lifestyle that influences our creativity, fuelling a passion for all things retro.
