ToyStore is one of the most unconventional and original projects we’ve had the pleasure of designing recently. Investors presented us with the task of creating a uniquely conceptualized cocktail bar on the map of Katowice, following the speakeasy convention. Mysterious, intriguing, and surprising – that was the goal. An unusual challenge, but one we enjoy the most!
Together with the investors – because that’s how the best collaboration looks – we created a concept that is a journey to the farthest corners of our imagination. Each room is distinct and extraordinary due to the mix of materials, colors, and the contributing lighting. The whole experience is a bit like a journey through different circles of initiation, which the guest progressively discovers and explores. ToyStore is a place that Katowice has never seen before. A true speakeasy cocktail bar, entered through what appears to be an inconspicuous toy store. Only the initiated know that the shelf inside the store is mobile and transforms from a door into another, mysterious world. We hope that (not only) the frequenters of Katowice will appreciate this place, which is entirely different from its external appearance.
