INGOT

Wikipedia says that "An ingot is a material, usually metal, that is cast into a shape suitable for further

processing."


This is Ingot Coffee Bar in Kitakyushu, Japan by Shoei Yoh architects, from the late 70s.

I'm guessing it was called Ingot because it looks like a diamond? or some type of mineral?
And in the color picture, it almost looks like there is somebody on a laptop in there.












Anyway, loving the unexpected corporate miniature cafe with the classic Pila chair and the infinity mirror w/ plants, and these images have been patiently waiting to be blogged for months, so I guess today was the day.
