Tokyo Little Nap: exquisite mini Coffee Stand

Little Nap is a chic coffee station located in a residential area near Daiyagi Park. Different from the flashy and noisy shopping area, the quiet environment of Little Nap reveals a fresh and natural atmosphere. Because its neighborhood happens to be the gathering place of Tokyo's creative youth, Little Nap can quickly catch up with the latest trends in coffee culture. And the products of Little Nap are enough to represent the trend of coffee culture in Tokyo.

Due to the high rent, Little Nap's store area is only about 20 square feet, so it can only provide a very small number of seats.

In fact, LittleNap's store design concept comes from a shoe repair shop, and Hamada is improved on this basis to reflect the unique temperament of being idle but not losing style.

When he took over the interview in the store, he was busy designing his own recording studio. Yes, Hamada is also an out-and-out music enthusiast and will hold some music activities regularly.

Osaka graf: looking for new answers in daily life

In 1998, six young people from different backgrounds jointly founded graf Coffee & Studio in Osaka. The six founders worked together many years ago, when they had a dream that if they could create a team in the future, it would be nice to work together on food, clothing and home furnishings. After many years, the dream of people with dreams has finally come true.

The founder told us about graf's past life and this life: "five of us have jobs related to furniture repair, so then we naturally start making our own furniture." Then we worked in repair factories, construction contractors, Italian restaurants, schools and design companies, and then we got back together and set up a studio called Decorative Mode No.3, making videos, lighting and jewelry, as well as exhibitions in galleries and cafes. " Less than a year after the establishment of Decorative Mode No.3 Studio, they opened graf Coffee & Studio.

In the eyes of graf's founders, "respecting the old" is the most precious thing about graf Coffee & Studio: "We find that the inadequacy of some old things is what makes them attractive, and the function is not all of them." Many people say that they are attracted by graf's creative space of shops, coffee and studios, and appreciate their working atmosphere and attitude towards life.

Graf's philosophy is to constantly explore new creative elements in life: "We are not going to conceive of a certain way of doing business, but we do guide customers to try to find new things in our products." We will try to change some of their inherent ideas, as well as some common sense perceptions. Whether at home, at work, in public or in social situations, we have been trying to find new things and new answers in our daily life. " In recent years, graf has also opened a studio in the UK in an attempt to spread Asian coffee culture further.
