The [compact coffee kiosk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chapel-cafe) was set up to complement other exhibitions at the [Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-aluc), which is where the international festival took place. The structure itself was made from a combination of aluminum and polycarbonate and references the traditional shape and style of a greenhouse. The kiosk's lightweight form allows for easy assembly and removal of the structure, meaning that there is ample potential for the structure to appear at a number of locations. The team behind the coffee kiosk notes: "As a matter of fact, there was an request to set up this kiosk in a different location during this time, and we were able to accommodate this since the deconstruction, removal, and re-installation took just one day to complete."
