For Bongo + Bakery on Tenth, MZA translated innovative Bongo Java branding into a fresh coffee and bakery hub for Nashville. Taking its cue from the simple bread box and mid-century modern aesthetic, the bright interior features clean lines, cozy seating, and thoughtful details. Partnerships with local makers such as 5 String Furniture and Southern Lights Electric resulted in bespoke furniture and lighting that imbue warmth and character. The fun style and relaxed ambiance soon had BOX become the go-to for residents and travelers alike, blending affordability in the coffee with the sophistication of its self-defined, uniquely Nashville personality.
