이 작업은 관객들이 커피맛을 보며 즐기고 진행형으로서의 미술에 참여하고, 각자 인생의 행로에서의 가벼운 행복함을 맛보며 여러 요소들과 만남의 장소로서 기능한다.
커피 카운터; CAFE를 구성하는 대표이미지로서, 커피 제조, 서빙과 맛보기를 위한 일상 공간의 창조물이다.
간판; 외벽에 기존하는 4개의 창문형 진열장 각각에 C-A-F-E의 글짜를 시공하고 형광등을 켠 간판이다. 벽돌건물인 ARKO 문예진흥원의 딱딱한 엄숙함을 열린 따스한 분위기로 바꾸고 관객들을 전시공간으로 초대한다.

Inspired through the fact that the gallery was a coffee shop, so building a coffee bar seemed plausible and the notion of the coffee bar is one of the city´s major infrastructures.
The actual bar was designed as a sculpture always having usability in mind.
Furthermore, the neon tubes installation stilts in the 4 windows of the gallery, describing the letters C-A-F-E towards the plaza in front of the show, which is one of the hottest zones in Seoul.
