Ernest is a minimalist cafe located in Seoul, South Korea, designed by orosy studio. The space presents an innovative approach to spatial design, characterized by its commitment to the concept of ‘liberation’. The central idea behind orosy’s design is the creation of an open environment. This has been achieved not through traditional methods of physical partitioning, but rather through a unique approach that plays with the perception of space. By focusing on the eye level of individuals, orosy blurs the conventional boundaries between the interior and the exterior. This design choice fosters a sense of freedom and fluidity, inviting patrons to experience the space in a manner that transcends the usual constraints of indoor environments.
