A new Liverpool coffee shop has opened with a unique twist - you can buy all of the furniture inside it.
When you walk into artefact on Roscoe Street, you’ll be forgiven for thinking it’s merely a coffee shop with some sturdy tables and comfy couches. However, this interior design is no accident, as the venue doubles as a vintage furniture shop.
Alex Allen, his mum Jane and her partner James Symonds have been flogging vintage furniture for several years. However, they were struggling to sell their stock at pop-up shops and shows, with their findings filling up two storage lockers and their family home.
