Who he is Adrien Ritzal, of Adrien Kent Creative Studio, is a KL-based multi-hyphenate interior consultant and stylist, illustrator, harpist and owner of a golden-yellow, peach-faced lovebird named Wasabi.
Best known for Double A Café,
Gula Cakery,
Sitka and more.
About his work He cuts a profile as colourful as those of his clients and their cafés, which include early-generation third-wave coffee spaces in KL, like
Butter + Beans at Seventeen (which was recently renovated), the small, sunlit
Feeka, and
Food Foundry.
Adrien’s projects reflect a creative, collaborative relationship between furniture, function and form, as well as brand, client and designer. The outcome is that of a timeless, yet timely, style. His work certainly embodies the wisdom stated on his website: a meeting of ‘architectural nuances’ and ‘spatial ease’.

More recently, he’s also responsible for Double A Café and its iconic, monochromatic hexagonal tiles; the creamy, calming spring shades and pastel prettiness of Gula Cakery, owned and operated by Adrien’s sister and star baker Ariene Ritzal; and the strong, seamless integration of architecture and aesthetics that is Sitka. Sitka, specifically, embraces the Japanese philosophy of
wabi-sabi, or of ‘celebrating imperfections’ in the words of Adrien: a modern, minimalist and quietly elegant space centred by a concrete countertop and exposed light wiring, creating a sculptural accent.
He’s more than a one-trick pony though; he also works on events styling, as well as retail and residential decor, such as Catcha Group’s office (which boasts a ping pong table and punching bag), d.d collective at Publika, and the sophisticated, sleek silhouettes of
FashionValet.
