Colbar Cafe, by Fable
Step back in time with our minimalist art print of the iconic Colbar cafe.
The Colbar boasts a rich history dating back to 1953. Originally established as a canteen for the British army and their families, it has become a beloved local institution, cherished for its nostalgic setting and delicious fare.
Hand-painted using Indian ink and a calligraphy brush, this print captures the relaxed charm of the Colbar, preserving a piece of Singapore's social and culinary heritage.
Experience the subtle textures and variations that bring the artwork to life, a far cry from flat digital prints. The minimalist aesthetic ensures the Colbar print seamlessly integrates with your existing décor, while celebrating a unique aspect of Singapore's cultural landscape.
Sustainable and museum-quality, this print arrives in premium packaging, making it the perfect conversation starter or a cherished gift for history buffs, foodies, and anyone who appreciates Singapore's hidden gems.
