Every now and then, a customer space lands in our inbox that stops us in our tracks — and Papotte is one of those spaces. Shot beautifully by Nina Ducleux, it’s a perfect example of how modern design elements can breathe new life into a historic setting.
Clean lines, simple signage, and thoughtful styling bring a fresh look to the space, all without taking away from its original charm. You’ll spot a few George & Willy favourites throughout, seamlessly blending in while still standing out — a great source of minimalist café design inspiration.
Take a look below — and get inspired.
George & Willy's Open / Closed Sign is a simple way to elevate your café’s entry — this modern store opening hours sign is a popular pick for coffee shop branding and retail spaces.
We hope you loved this space as much as we did. It’s always a treat to see George & Willy pieces out in the wild — especially in thoughtfully designed spaces like Papotte. If you’ve created a café, studio, or shop using our signage or display tools and would like to be featured, we’d love to hear from you — just get in touch!
