Café Funiculi Funicula

In “Before the coffee gets cold” by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, there is a café tucked away in a narrow back alley in Tokyo that has been brewing special coffee for more than a hundred years. But it also provides its patrons an extraordinary experience - the chance to travel back in time. I received the book as a Christmas present from a friend last year, and couldn’t put it down when I started reading it. When I finished, I thought of making a concept sketch and model of the café based off the descriptions from the book.
