- Design Challenge
- Brings the 100% Korean cafe decoration into Taiwan is not easy. The construction and materials alone will need to put the maintenance and rust into the consideration due to the hot humid climate in Taiwan. That is why we not only cannot use the steel door as the cafe does in Korea but unable to custom-made. After due discussion, in order to save the budget of the owner, give the long-lasting protection for the customers and help the facade of cafe to fight against the erosion of the sun-scorched and rain-drenched, even the cracked deformation, we decide to make the door in complex processes such like wood-made modeling with the cement board, waterproof primer, UGL paste filler, anti-UV, waterproof Transparent protective film, etc.
