A discreet dining room tucked beneath Ulica Piękna (translated as “Beautiful Street”) in Warsaw—steps from embassies and the civic heart of the city.
Created to serve patrons of the DESA Unicum private art gallery for both lunch and dinner, the space balances privacy and drama with a table mix and bar energy that stays active without feeling loud.
A signature ceiling “tree” becomes the draw: a cluster of varying lampshades in black fabric with warm brass interiors, gathering light while concealing services above.
Daylight filters in from a large glazed courtyard wrapping two sides of the restaurant, casting soft, diffuse light across terrazzo floors and the terrazzo bar.
Leather banquettes, quiet brass trim, and a rotating wall of works by Polish artists add warmth, texture, and a sense of culture without fuss.
