KOLAB - "Who Made this"

Nov 21, 2025KOLAB Concept

It’s a simple question, but the answer matters. At kolab, that question is the foundation of everything we do. Whether it’s the artist behind the vase on the shelf or the chef behind the dish in the kitchen, we exist to celebrate the creators.

In a world of fast fashion, fast food, and one-click delivery, we decided to hit the pause button.

Welcome to kolab, a concept store and kitchen dedicated to the art of slowing down and appreciating the human touch. We didn’t just want to open a shop; we wanted to build a space where the boundaries between maker, chef, and community blur into one shared experience.

More Than Just a Store At kolab, every object on our shelves tells a story. We believe that the mug you drink your morning coffee from should be as thoughtful as the beans we grind for it. That’s why we scour the creative landscape to find independent makers who pour their soul into their craft.

From small-batch ceramics to handmade homewares, our shelves are stocked with goods that celebrate:

  • Imperfection: The thumbprint on a clay bowl that proves it was made by a person, not a machine.

  • Sustainability: Materials sourced responsibly and built to last a lifetime.

  • Originality: Designs you won’t find in the big-box stores.

The Kitchen: A Collaborative Palette Our kitchen operates with the same philosophy as our store. We collaborate with local suppliers to create a menu that is seasonal, fresh, and honest. Whether you’re here for a slow brunch or a quick Coffee, you are tasting the local landscape.

Join the Conversation kolab is more than a brand; it’s a gathering place. It’s where you come to find inspiration, to eat well, and to support the independent creatives who make our world a more beautiful place.

Come say hello. Let’s make something great together. www.kolabconcept.co.uk
