A brief trip in everyday life
Cities in Korea have very few places to rest for free than most major cities in the world. Therefore, we stop by a cafe to find a place to take a break, and are willing to pay the space usage fee, which is included in the price of coffee. It can be accepted as a sad reality in a way, but because of this factor, there is also a positive function that each cafe gradually acquires its own distinct characteristics.
Cafe Orange is a good example. The texture of the exterior walls and the composition of doors and windows evoke the feeling of European architecture. Usually, when borrowing elements of European architecture, it is often unnatural, but the overall feeling is very natural as it has been reinterpreted to some extent with Korean tastes.
The textured plaster walls determine the feel of the interior, and in combination with abundant sunlight, it is very close to the 'modern European' interior sensibility seen in magazines. This warm feeling creates an exotic atmosphere, giving you the feeling of being on a trip for a while.
The signature menu, mugwort gyato, also reminds us of the Korean identity of this place. It is characterized by the rich aroma of mugwort from the soft and textured cream, and it was very delicious. Café Orinji reminds us that if you are sure of your inner center, you can create a completely fused new thing, not a shy imitation, no matter what element you use.
