The Seoul Museum of Art Archives is designed with an open structure, allowing free access from any direction without a designated main entrance. This reflects the belief that art should not be the exclusive domain of experts but should be integrated into the lives of all. Here, anyone can freely explore the vast collection of art resources once limited to specialists. Visitors may join various programs held in the Learning Wing or browse archival records in the Gathering Wing, gaining a richer and more multidimensional understanding of art.

His tools and traces of work scattered throughout the space allow visitors to feel closer to the life of the sculptor. Within a structure where curves and straight lines, natural and artificial elements, sharpness and softness coexist, the sculptural language the artist developed throughout his life permeates every corner. This space goes beyond an exhibition, becoming a place where the sculptor’s life and traces are fully preserved.

Rooted in the belief shared by the two founders—that “a barista’s emotions are conveyed to customers through coffee”—the design of the space always centers around the worktable and the barista’s movement. A comfortable and spacious work environment allows baristas to fully focus on each cup they prepare. This approach reflects the clear philosophy and unwavering commitment of the founders, who continue to work as baristas themselves.
