Laundromats probably aren’t the most obvious typology that springs to mind when thinking of engaging hospitality or retail design – you could even refer to them as ‘the spatial underdog’. Some, however, are flipping this impression on its head, including bespoke appliances, in-house coffee bars and even mermaid tails. Inherently retro in an age where at-home or in-building washer-dryers are increasingly commonplace, Laundromats are more likely to stand out as a stereotypically urban aesthetic, with neon signage reflecting of steel machine surfaces. Laundry has to get done, however, and for those that still utilise a Laundromat to do so, there are some pretty cool looking ones out there that we’ve rounded up for your viewing (and maybe using, depending on where you’re reading from) pleasure.
