Inspired by Johannes Vermeer’s The Milkmaid, The Kopi Auntie pays homage to the values of hard work and dedication in serving drinks to people from all walks of life. Reflecting the qualities of Vermeer’s painting, the auntie stands confidently and steadily as she brews coffee, exuding both focus and calmness. At a time when Western-style cafes are proliferating, it is important to preserve and appreciate the unique drinks culture of South East Asia.
