It’s not often you can say a house was inspired by great coffee or that a 1970s bungalow was redesigned for Nordic living, but that was the case for Cathrine Tjore and her husband, Simon Keeley, founders of café and homeware shop NORSK and the Little Italy Espresso Bars – their home is a true expression of all passions.
