"Reflecting the times"

In a time when everything is rapidly emerging and rapidly disappearing, there is a space that reflects the present era. These are the cafe 'PEEK' developed by HPIX and the 'Prompt Project' where you can appreciate the works of artists with various perspectives. PEEK has the meaning of 'quickly spying on something', and this word is a word that summarizes the way we quickly scan and pass through a lot of information through social media. PEEK here is also said to reflect the trendy generation who is immediately fascinated or enthusiastic by looking at a fleeting image or short form, but I wonder what the space will be like.

The cafe space on the first floor is filled with a combination of elements that do not go well together. If we think of the neatly arranged furniture and the furniture HPIX has exhibited so far, the overall frame of the space reminds us of the 'Bauhaus'. However, at the center of it, a mobile scaffold that should be in a construction site is positioned as an object, reminiscent of deconstructivist architecture.
-
Deconstructivist architecture combines contrasting elements to approach the space with freshness rather than rejection, allowing us to perceive space differently. Although the furniture is not suitable for the original, it emphasizes the space rather than being heterogeneous. Judging from the identity of PEEK, it can be said that it well represented the trendy generation that does not want to be bound by any framework in line with the rapidly changing era.
-
The first basement floor, the second and third floors above the ground are not large spaces as galleries. However, thanks to the lush trees of 'Poi Neighborhood Park' behind the building and the large windows on one side, the space feels spacious. There are some that are close to the tree, but the size of the tree is judged due to the large area of the window, so even though there is glass, I don't think it exists.
-
If you look around, even people who are not interested in the space will think that the space is really neat. From automatic door buttons to mailboxes and even accessories in the bathroom. It seems to be part of the 'Bauhaus', which became the birthplace of modern designs loved by people around the world, such as iPhones and iMacs. Objects that go against it are placed at the center of it, so it shows the identity of the brand well.
-
Various exhibitions are held here by inviting up-and-coming artists, so why not stop by while taking a walk in the surrounding park?
