A Few Good Chairs

 

D'Espresso Cafe

Normally I despise commercial spaces that are too theme-y (yes I did just make up a word), but something about the beautifully executed D'Espresso Cafe on Madison Avenue caught my eye. Quite possibly its the the theatrics of it. It actually feels more like a set or window design. In any case it tickled my fancy so I thought I'd share it....
If you turn the photo sideways it looks like an old library. Very clever.
