A local favourite, reimagined.⁠
⁠
Design Command has completed the refurbishment of David’s Café in Letchworth Garden City, bringing new life to a much-loved space at the heart of the community.⁠
⁠
Blending café, bookshop, music store and retail into one cohesive environment, the redesign is centred around a simple idea, creating a place where people can slow down, stay a while and feel at ease.⁠
⁠
Key design moves include:⁠
• A reworked layout that seamlessly integrates seating with retail⁠
• Warm, mid-century inspired materials and textures⁠
• Herringbone flooring and soft upholstery to create a residential feel⁠
• Layered lighting that gently transitions between spaces⁠
⁠
With over 60 years of history behind it, the project is as much about preserving character as it is about improving function.⁠
⁠
As founder Clare McDonald puts it, the aim was to create “a space that feels warm, inviting and easy to spend time in.”⁠
⁠
A thoughtful example of how design can strengthen community spaces.⁠

What does an award actually mean in design?⁠
⁠
Following two 2026 iF Design Awards, we spoke with Sergio Silva of Humanscale about what recognition really says about a product… and the thinking behind it.⁠
⁠
A few things stood out 👇⁠
⁠
• Great design isn’t about trade-offs; ergonomics, sustainability and usability have to work together from day one⁠
• Awards matter most when they come from rigorous, independent scrutiny⁠
• The real measure of a product isn’t launch impact, but how it performs years down the line⁠
• Recognition doesn’t signal arrival, it pushes the team to question, refine and do better⁠
⁠
As Sergio puts it:⁠
“This isn’t about creating a moment, it’s about shaping something that improves people’s lives, year after year.”⁠
⁠
A thoughtful conversation on what sits behind truly enduring design.⁠
