Acaban de estrenar un nuevo salón con enchufes pensado para experiencias sensoriales en torno al café, que también funciona perfecto para sentarse a trabajar.

“In its white room that looks like a living room, with a wooden shelf loaded with colorful little cups, worn books and very green plants with portentous, hanging leaves, there are blond people in trekking clothes who speak English, neighbors settled at high tables with computers, and groups of students who pretend to be making progress on an assignment while nibbling on one of the cakes from the display case.”

En su blanca sala que parece un living, con una repisa de madera cargada de tacitas de colores, libros gastados y plantas muy verdes de hojas portentosas y colgantes, hay gente rubia vestida de trekking que habla inglés, vecinos instalados en mesas altas con computadores, y grupos de estudiantes que hacen como que avanzan en un trabajo, mientras picotean uno de los queques de la vitrina.

“As a model, this café bets on open-plan logic: you can go with your laptop and basically spend the whole day working there. Nobody is going to bother you except the distracted regulars looking for a place to settle in. The music and temperature are always well regulated and the light is soft.”

Como modelo, esta cafetería apuesta por la lógica de planta libre: Puedes ir con tu notebook y estar básicamente todo el día trabajando ahí. Nadie te va a molestar más que los parroquianos distraídos que buscan un lugar dónde instalarse. La música y la temperatura están siempre bien reguladas y la luz es tenue.
