Copenhagen ︎︎︎ LA

Copenhagen is well known for it’s long, cold and damp winter. LA, on the other hand, is famous for having sunny dry summer all year round. Regardless of huge difference in weather, people from both cities are mostly happy, chill, and relaxed. Arts District can be enjoyed both summer and winter. There are numerous places to warm up and cool off in both weather allowing people’s visit more playful and comfortable.

Space Divider




Beeswax + Oak

Wax carries two different temperature. When it is not lit on, the material stays cool or room temperature but when it is lit, the material becomes warm, even hot. I wanted to focus on this characteristic of wax to emphasize my concept of HAY Cafe, Summer Cool Winter Warmth. Also HAY is an experimental brand. Through the use of traditional Danish materials with vivid colors and different sheen, products are fun, express lots of energy, and feel innovative. With this project, I wanted to capture these brand values so that the space divider is functional yet fresh and playful.



Key Moment : Ordering For Special Coffee




At this station, guests are welcomed to choose different kinds of coffee beans and processes they prefer. For guests to remember what they had ordered, small card with explanation will be given as a present for them to carry home.





Key Moment : Winter Warmth




In Winter Warmth area, guests will be able to feel temperature warming up and relax through the hearth and choices of drinks they purchased according to their current state of warmth and coolness. Guests will be able to comfortably sit at the circular seating or on steps. Blankets will be provided for those who want extra warmth or want to drink cold drinks but stay warm underneath the blanket.





Key Moment : Summer Cool




Actual sand will be warmed up and cooled down throughout the day for guests to feel as if they are at the beach. In this space, people can hygge in more “summer” way.Blue color in the ceiling panel will arouse feeling of looking over to the beach. By being able to look down to the Winter Warmth area, temperature cooling off experience will be enhanced.
