A Break at the Odette Tea Room

Francesca Tagliabue

by

The jungle has arrived in Warsaw’s city centre, but have no fear! It is not an attack by wild beasts, but an invitation to have a snack at the adorable Odette tearoom and pâtisserie. It is located in the heart of the city, nestled in the shadows of skyscrapers, just a short distance from Gryzbowsky square. Other than the stone pavement, which flows from the outside to the interior, Odette has a tropical feel to it. The banana-leaf wallpaper that covers the entire space (45 square meters) is the perfect backdrop for the 100 metal tea containers that line the walls. There are only four, round tables, a display case with deserts, and a large, brass chandelier made specifically for the space. Odette is an unexpected oasis in the centre of a concrete jungle.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
