I thought I start this morning with a wonderful cup of coffee, but instead I have a lovely store that used to sell coffee. Oh, well!! Go with the flow right?
In a way it is like searching for your favorite perfume only to find out that it has been discontinued. You feel a "pang" of disappointment, but then you just carry on, or are you going to turn into a perfume maker or in this case a barrister? Maybe, who knows?
I have shown many pictures of this store here, don't know how that happened since it is usually the other way around. In any case, even if there is no longer wonderful coffee it is a lovely place to look around and be inspired. Everywhere you look there is a wonderful desk, cabinet or table with amazing lamps and other vintage decorating accessories. Go if you need a lamp, or a beautiful writing desk (ahem, I saw one that is just perfection), but remember no coffee!

Lovely shop. Too bad about the coffee. Maybe they could be persuaded to offer a complimentary cup to their customers. Sip while you shop.

ReplyDeleteThe coffee was a great part of the experience of the store, too bad they don't sell it anymore. I really doubt they'll add the complimentary cup ;)
DeleteSorry it showed up twice...not sure what my computer is doing.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha great idea, Suzy, to offer a cup to their customers ;) But I'm sure there must be lots of coffeeshops around the corner, right? What a nice find, Giova! From your images I see some things I really like, the Emeco chairs, the Jieldé desk lamp, a suitcase... Did you ever purchase something from here? A quick glimpse on their website shows some pretty hefty price tags...
ReplyDeleteI only purchased a magazine here, it was all I could afford. No, the truth is, I move too much and rarely buy any furniture. I never look at prices since I'm not on the look out for things, but I love looking at stores ;)
DeleteLovely find! I love shops like these but they do command far too high prices these days....
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing!
It was a great place for a coffee, with a really nice atmosphere. The furniture was the added bonus for me, I loved looking around and browsing their magazines. Now I don't have an excuse to go ;(
