ABOUT
The “Melange,” a drink made of coffee and milk, is a Viennese invention; the coffeehouse produced new variants and saw to the drink’s worldwide export. The typical newspaper holder is a relic of low-cost general education and access to the world—long before television or the Internet. The coffeehouse table played host to the writing of literature, the composition of music and the cutting of political and economic deals at a time when so-called “multifunctional furniture” did not yet exist. As a place, the coffeehouse offers a home to both travelers and urban nomads. A coffeehouse’s interior and guests are indicative of local fashions and styles—or they mix these as the global trends of tomorrow.
