Article source: BPd-design & art Le Jour Café is located in the historic centre of Košice, on the Hlavná street in a building, which is the oldest preserved bourgeois building in the city centre.

Similarly to the mix of stones used for flooring we have used variety of materials and components from the same era which an objective to create a non-traditional, inspirational and at the same time up-to-date premises with many original items.

We chose a tailor-made lamp, which became the main decoration of the café. Entry zone on the left is designed as fast café zone with smaller amount of tall chairs and allows for a direct communication with the low bar.

Installation of a carpet with grass imitation on the ceiling makes this part warmer and smoother and creates a perfect background for a set of glass balls installed on the ceiling. Deliberate dominance of metal material is damped and complemented by wooden tiling and sitting textiles.

Many other decorations creating the soul of the area with dominant metal material from various eras we also used.
