In the heart of La Praille, an area that still retains some of its industrial past, stands a unique space: the former SBB cargo hall. For a fortnight, this hall has been transformed into an ephemeral restaurant. This place is an exclusive concept hidden away until the last moment somewhere in Geneva. Each encounter is unique thanks to the details designed to offer an experience isolated from the world.
From the shape of the lamps to the selection of flowers and the dress of the waiters. The furniture and crockery have been specially acquired and designed for the occasion. The immersive and mysterious experience is accentuated by the use of double mirrors and motion detectors that activate light and sound. In this orchestrated universe, the telephone boxes seem to invite guests to a discreet and secret dance.
