[/caption] The simplest way to translate the Japanese word Kawaii is through the adjective "cute" or "adorable" . The term, which began to be used in Japan in the late 19th century, is a concept that reflects the country's modern culture by being present not only in fashion, advertising, gastronomy, but also in interior design , as it fits in with trends and presents a delicate and fun aesthetic.

[/caption] At the Budapest Cafe (above) it’s impossible not to think of the filmmaker! The Australian studio Biasol has opted for balanced geometries and materials to create a play on contrasts.
