Designed and operated by Corinna and Theresa Williams, this laundromat in Brooklyn is definitely a niche business. Rebelling against the mundane aesthetic and ubiquitous presence of these facilities, the German siblings create a space where people can not only wash their clothes but also enjoy a cup of coffee and relax in designated lounging areas.
Named Celsious, the laundromat in Brooklyn truly revolutionizes and socializes the chore of doing laundry on a weekend. Corinna and Theresa Williams arrange their business on two floors. While the first features stacked steely washers and dryers, the second boasts a lofty space with chairs, tables and a small coffee bar at the back.
The interior of this welcoming laundromat in Brooklyn is arranged with a contemporary aesthetic in mind and accentuated with subtle hints of greenery.
