The kiosk with a roof is an illustration of the inner surface of the Hang Dau booth, an ancient horse-shaped carriage, shaped like a canopy that creats a texture for the roof and collect sunlight in order to save electricity. The sloping roof helps to creat protection from the sun and rain.

This is Lily's artwork. "Instead of using the window, I used a folding table corner to create a private space, but it is not too clear, just enough to keep the friendliness of guests and staff. The movement of the table is the highlight of my Kiosk, the main door looks like static, but actually removable, that makes it interesting and lively. Each part can be disassembled, assembled step by step and easily movable. "
