La Station Cafe

Lead DesignersEnoch Hui
Prize(s)Honorable Mention
Entry Description

Founded by three French entrepreneurs, La Station recently opened its flagship shop in Hong Kong, ushering in the first of a series of concept stores aimed at bringing a genuine European coffee experience to Asian customers.

As guests first walk through the door of La Station, the first thing to notice is the curvaceous white subway-tiled wall lined with brass wall lamps, offering an unapologetic nod to the train stations back home in France. Below, a gold-coloured stainless steel counter exudes warmth, while to the right the menu board has been fashioned from a traditional European-style split-flap display, indicating the brews on offer. A grey-tinted mirror and open front awning enhance the sense of spaciousness, making it difficult for guests to walk by without popping in to say hi. The bronze pipes feature which has been crafted in the shape of the MTR map in a glittering homage to Hong Kong.
