A collaboration between
     Weylandts and StudioLandt,

The Dressing Room reimagines how the brand lives, gathers, and eats – transforming its design philosophy into an edible, tactile experience.

When Weylandts approached StudioLandt to design an eatery within their Green Point flagship store, the question wasn’t simply how to build an eatery – it was how to translate the Weylandts philosophy into a culinary experience.

Known for its distinctive approach to living, Weylandts wanted to express its ethos of authenticity, craftsmanship, and sensory richness through food and space

Grounded in the
     HEART OF GREEN POINT,

Artisanal Eatery is formed – from a sculptural brick wall inspired by reclaimed Japanese roof tiles to the sandstone counters, linen screens, and custom timber detailing, every element speaks to the brand’s deep respect for craft and natural form. 

Textures play off one another in quiet dialogue: clay bricks meet soft linen, organic oak rests against raw boulder. It’s an environment that doesn’t compete with the furniture around it, but completes it – a subtle extension of the brand’s crafted world.

At the heart of the café, a sculptural wall takes shape –

its pattern drawn from old Japanese roof tiles once used to form boundary walls.

Reimagined in clay, the fragments find new life, their rhythm both deliberate and organic. 

Light filters through the original architectural windows, bringing to life the brickwork in a shifting play of shadow and texture.

To temper the rawness of brick and stone, linen panels drift through the air.

They hang like fabric signage, a nod to Japanese cafes where textiles carry words instead of walls.

In this balance of natural and man-made, solid and soft, the eatery feels alive.

It’s a place that embodies the Weylandts way of living – thoughtful, grounded, and beautifully real.
