Cafeteria Kauko opened in downtown Helsinki

Kauko is a cafeteria in which nothing works as it should. And that is the point, because its purpose is to demonstrate the importance of good design in our daily life. After all, the significance of design is often noticed only when it is lacking. You can visit Kauko until mid-February on the second storey of the Forum Shopping Centre in Helsinki. Naturally, Kauko is also remote-controlled. The height of tables and chairs, for example, can be controlled online. So when the accidental visitor sits down in Kauko, the table or the chair may suddenly go up or down. Brilliant.

You can control Kauko online here.
