LA TABLE Pařížská
The second LA TABLE boutique was created on Pařížská street, in the ground floor of the Fairmont hotel. This time, the space — where the lead role belongs to luxury tableware and dining products — was set within a raw framework of brutalist architecture and exposed concrete structures. Which is precisely why we chose not to add more hardness. Instead, we brought softness, warmth and calm into a robust space. Luxury here doesn’t come from ostentation, but from precision, materials and an atmosphere where dining carries the same weight as the interior itself.
A table that sets the tone
Once again, the table plays the starring role. While at Mánesova we worked with a sharper design placed inside a stucco space, here the principle is reversed. The raw brutalist architecture called for a more delicate response. We placed a monumental 4.5-metre table in the space, with a solid top made from triple laminated glass, set on a brutalist concrete base. It’s a standalone piece that holds the entire showroom together. It stands beneath a raised ceiling opened up to the original concrete structure — and that’s where it finds its full strength. The rawness of the concrete above and below is then softened by a wire light fitting that adds lightness and calm to the space.
A delicate layer within a hard space
All the built-in furniture designed for displaying products was made from a special laminate in a warm tone that is almost indistinguishable from real veneer. After the brutalist shell of the space, it’s exactly this layer that refines the interior and gives it the right measure of luxury. The backs of the niches are lined with faux leather, which softens the whole and adds depth and a tactile quality. All shelving and cabinets are backlit around their full perimeter, so the displayed objects sit within a precise but non-aggressive frame. And then there are the details a visitor may not notice immediately, but which are exactly what makes the difference — such as the glass drawers with laser-cut foam inserts, where every piece has its fixed place.
Concrete as part of the composition
Where we left the original concrete structures exposed, we had no interest in covering anything up. Quite the opposite. In those areas, the furniture was designed without backs, so the concrete becomes a natural visual part of it. It doesn’t just play the role of backdrop — it enters directly into the composition of the interior. Here, the rawness didn’t need to be introduced into the space. It was present from the start, and our task was to find a way not to overpower it, but to position it correctly alongside softer materials and luxury products.
The second layer of the boutique
This project also repeats the principle of a more intimate section, this time located in the basement. It’s a quieter register of the showroom. A space with seating, additional product shelving and room for meetings, where the pace of the boutique deliberately slows down. It doesn’t continue the main space by copying it, but translates the same atmosphere into a more everyday, more intimate form. It’s a place where it’s not just about displaying goods, but about encounter, conversation and time spent making a considered choice.
A cohesive whole right down to the last step
We had no intention of pushing the technical areas aside either. The back-of-house is designed in the same spirit as the rest of the showroom, so the space holds together from the main table all the way to the last step. The basement is reached by a curved staircase that is not merely a functional connection between floors, but a natural continuation of the whole concept. It’s in places like these that you can tell whether an interior is truly resolved. Not when it works only where everyone is looking, but when it holds its strength even in the parts that elsewhere would remain just ordinary circulation.
Why do we love interiors?
It’s not just about the furnishings, but about the overall impact of a space—from the main room down to the smallest detail. If you enjoy this approach to design, check out our other interiors.
