Coffee, we should think more about it besides leisure and taste.

Left Coffee Hyehwa is a compact store that condenses various functions for customer interaction into just 2 meters of space. Suitable for small spaces.

Located on a busy street with a high flow of people in the University area, this café is operated with a kiosk ordering system, keeping up with the fast-paced modern society. After the pandemic, many cultural trends have emerged, and this café is one of the businesses that has adapted to these new approaches.

Left Coffee Kiosk can be located anywhere and can adapt to any environment. If only the function corresponding to the entrance furniture is possible business is possible. The simplification of the shape can be thought of as a form that can be mass-produced.

Imagining the kiosk evolving into a mobile space, the coffee stories told in this small space that enhances scalability and productivity will become a hub for modern coffee culture in a suitable form for contemporary society.
