The bathroom is not just one of the most important rooms in the home. It can be a real game-changer in restaurants too. For a truly memorable dining experience, this room needs to make just as good an impression as the cuisine. Café Compagnon in Paris shows exactly how this can be achieved.

Crockery and home accessories made from stoneware have a very distinctive character: they are reminiscent of old handicrafts, spinning pottery wheels, hands full of dust and clay as well as the origin vastness of nature.
Natural materials and colours, authentic shapes and perfect imperfection are on trend. Which probably also explains the great popularity of pottery-look tableware.
