What's not to love? It's the classic British department store for the everyday person--not exactly on the same level as Jenners. Marks & Spencer is the place you go to buy a specialty prepackaged sandwich on on the same trip purchase a flamboyant hat. M&S is the whole retail package rolled into one branded masterpiece.
Not to mention the fact that they provide plastic utensils for to-go meals that would fit in on a luxury cruise line.
Now to the real point:
In M&S's flagship store in Westfield, London, design firm Kiwi & Pom (I can see you working at a place like this, Wong) have created a one of a kind cafe setting.
The sculptural design of the booth creates a welcoming seating area that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
I like the space age quality of the design, with almost a 60's lounge vibe to it. I can see this being a functional public seating piece for a very long time. Because of the materials it is made of, the piece will surely stand up to some wear and tear.
...I can just see myself sitting there, surrounded by shopping bags, indulging on a millionaire square and a cappuccino...
Hey Wong, let's go to London! We could call it a business trip--we do have business cards now after all!
