As the works derived from the trend culture, the art toys are endowed with more artistic attributes. Through the joint name and re-creation of the brand works with artists, the "toys" become the "works of art" with multiple attributes, not only the single piece of fun, but also the integration of the trend and art.

In the Internet era, attention economy is one of the underlying logic of the "Internet celebrity" space. The "new" space is different from the unique experience of the same type of commercial space, creating experience scenes is based on the new interpretation of the traditional space. This case will be a combination of coffee and art toy Internet celebrity cafe, coffee strengthens the social attributes of the space, art toy into the space soul. To create a social utopia for Generation Z.

Taking the ROBBi art as the spiritual subject of the space, the designer defines the users of the space as the wanderers of the unknown time and space, who are both users and explorers.

The designer took the space capsule as the design idea and extracted design elements to create a trendy cafe in terms of texture, lighting, and color. The whole cafe is like a living room in the vast universe, here to rest, empty, daze, chat, and dialogue with the space.

The arc design symbolizes the beauty of the curve of celestial bodies. The white bar is designed with soft, smooth lines and a sense of luster, showing the unique sleek comfort of space furniture. The different splicing methods of the built-up sofa create different social atmospheres. Metallic tone not only has a strong science fiction attribute, but also brings infinite extension of mechanical aesthetics. The polished stainless-steel furniture presents a mirror effect, and the colored transparent gel furniture expresses the space atmosphere of future science and technology.
