Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Conceptual 'Oblige' Modular Cafe Can Be Placed Anywhere

— July 23, 2021 — Art & Design
The conceptual 'Oblige' modular cafe is a balanced appliance for the home that would work to provide inhabitants and guests alike with the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of sparkling water. The unit works by being positioned in a living space and being connected to electrical sources as well as water to get the system up and running. This will enable users to create an array of high-quality beverages from the living room without having to head into the kitchen or to the local cafe to purchase them.

The conceptual 'Oblige' modular cafe is the design work of Soo Jung Hwang, Seongyong Lee and Ki-Beom Hwang, and is imagined in a number of branded silhouettes to boot.
