A pop-up shop dedicated to Starbucks' espresso drinks, in which visitors can learn more about drinks like lattes, cappuccinos and cafe mochas. The Japanese office Nendo proposes us this interesting coffee shop conceived as a library.

The space was designed to be like a library, with bookshelves. On the shelves, there are books with covers in nine different colors. Each color of book corresponds to a different espresso drink. Visitors can stroll around the space, freely pulling books off the shelves to read and choose the drink that best suits them.

At the counter, visitors can trade the book for an actual espresso drink, but retain the book cover which tells them about the drink they have chosen, to use it as they like. The reverse side of the book cover has been punched into a tall or short size tumbler insert, which can be used in a Starbucks "Create Your Own Tumbler".
 

The 'library' invites visitors to choose an espresso drink as they would a book, and verse themselves in espresso drinks as though quietly entering into a fictional world. Books and coffee are both important parts of everyday life, so we created a link between favorite books and favorite coffees.
