Éden is a shared studio where women creators design, exhibit their work, and meet the people who visit them. More than a showroom, it is a support network built by women, championing craftsmanship, personal connection, and a slower, more thoughtful approach to consumption.

From day one, our biggest difference has been that we’re a family business. Every member of our family worked here in the beginning, and that personal approach still defines the atmosphere today. We want every guest to feel as if they’re visiting someone’s home rather than just another café.

Before we arrived, the space operated as a rentable co-working office. Since then, we have transformed it into an urban living room, a popular meeting point for the local design community. We organize exhibitions, magazine launches, collection debuts, fairs, and workshops.

I did not have any experience in running a hospitality place, and I did not want to be influenced by people who had long been in the hospitality business, so I tried to ride my own way, which in each case was not the best direction, but in the end it was a great journey.

You shouldn’t wait for opportunities, you have to create them yourself. That principle is embedded in how the studio operates, from supporting emerging designers through the Art Exchange programme to mentoring young creatives and helping them develop ideas into working prototypes.
