The secret to every trendy café.
What today's hottest cafés have in common

Vibe over everything —
that's how people pick cafés now.
Here's how top spots teamed up with
artists to level up their interiors.

Ana Kraš | @teget
Ana works across furniture, lighting,
fashion, drawing, and space design,
and runs lifestyle brand TEGET —
known for standout brand collabs.

Her signature Bonbon lamp —
wire-wrapped, metal-framed —
even teamed up with Danish brand HAY.
Now a go-to for cafés, restaurants,
and retail spaces.

Lee Kwang-ho | @_kwangho_lee
A material-obsessed designer
turning craft into sculptural furniture.
Best known for the wire-woven Knot
and Obsession series.

He designed the space and lighting
for Osulloc Tea House 1979 in
Sinyongsan — turning it into something
closer to an art exhibit.

And-et | @and-et
And-et crafts space-specific tufted
artwork through brand collabs,
while growing as both artist and brand
through yearly exhibitions.

A collab with 140-year-old French
chestnut jam brand Crème de Marrons
— its mascot Marono, reimagined in
tufted form.

A massive tufted frame for Walking Cup,
the café's standout hotspot —
designed by Jaime Hayón for
maximum visual impact.

Amid all that glossy glamour,
the warm texture of the tufted frame
softened the space — and upped
the style factor.
