Birdeye Espresso - Tainan, Taiwan

Independent Italian-Style Coffee Shop

An independent coffee shop located in the alleys of the East District of Tainan, Birdeye Espresso has a strong focus on sustainable operation, the finer details, and high-quality products. This Italian-style coffee bar, with an Australian lifestyle twist, serves only the best coffee, light meals, and handmade treats.

A cofffee shop with Industrial lighting

The design of the space is based around an informal, industrial lighting style, not overly groomed or covered; the Coolicon lampshade’s natural home. The dark grey interior is balanced with calm wood tones and the warm terracotta of our Original 1933™ Design to create a restrained yet enthusiastic feeling. The vented design of the Coolicon lampshade brings light into all aspects of the café, creating an inviting atmosphere for the coffee and cake lovers.

Craftsmans™ Silhouette & grey brickwork

The elegantly hung Craftsmans™ Silhouette radiates a soft glow against the stark grey brickwork with the contrast in colour highlighting the warm ivory and differing thickness of this Fine Bone China lampshade.

Underground Large 1933™ Design

Resting above the coffee bar shines our Original Green and District Line Large 1933™ Design lampshades. Providing unmatched task lighting for the baristas working below, the District Line shade transports customers to London, England, with Harry Beck’s first edition London Underground map.
