Terarosa Posco
A steel-and-books library cafe built inside the POSCO Center for the steelmaker's 50th anniversary.
Hand-drip coffee from Ethiopian, Guatemalan, Rwandan, Honduran, Colombian, and Panamanian beans, served in a two-story space across the first and second floors. The cafe was built into the POSCO Center in Daechi-dong, Gangnam to mark the company's 50th anniversary. Entrance, tables, and objects are fabricated in steel, set against roughly 10,000 books donated by POSCO that lean toward foreign-language design, science, and art. Open weekday mornings from 07:30, useful as a quiet workspace before the lunch crowd arrives from the surrounding office towers.
