It can be hard to get enough natural light during dismal winter months, so the popularity of the Iglo Light Cafe comes as no real surprise. Combining the benefits of light therapy (which can ward off seasonal affective disorders) with nourishing smoothies and snacks, it is a healthy haven during darker times.
Founded in 2004, the Iglo Light Cafe clads their customers in in white and is lit by UV-free lighting. A serene setting for any culture, I’m excited to see whether more of these cafes are launched around the globe other than just in Sweden.
