The Living Room (Coffee Salon)

The main attraction of this fantastic corner room is the light streaming in from the park outside. The artworks in the room are meant to reflect this. The coffee salon is frequently used and has become part of the house’s routines. The table and chairs work well as a shared workspace and meeting room—together with coffee, tea, and fresh ideas.
