— Idea
Tropical elegance
Fabryka Norblina is another destination on Warsaw’s culinary map—following Hala Koszyki, Elektrownia Powiśle, and Browary Warszawskie—offering a rich and diverse gastronomic experience. The revitalized complex features both street food venues and new restaurant concepts. Naturally, it also includes our premium-standard interior design project. Paradiso is located along the main thoroughfare of Fabryka Norblina. The investors wanted its atmosphere to evoke associations with South America and the Caribbean—not in a literal way, but in a more refined and sophisticated manner.
— Process
From concept to experience
When we began the project, construction work at Fabryka Norblina was still ongoing. The building that now houses Paradiso was merely a shell, with only the original walls and the tracks embedded in the floor remaining. All preserved elements were under heritage conservation protection, and a particular challenge was integrating and showcasing the steel tracks in a way that kept them clearly visible without disrupting circulation. Ultimately, the rails were covered with a sheet of glass, which was successfully leveled flush with the floor surface.

Caribbean lightness
Paradiso combines a cocktail bar with a casual restaurant. Its heart is the bar, finished alternately with bottle-green tiles and mirrored strips. Paired with the black-and-white flooring, this creates a slightly surreal effect. Throughout the venue, green is the dominant color. Its various shades appear on the walls, doors, and booths, as well as in the plants suspended from the ceiling and mounted on the walls. The walls themselves are clad in tiles featuring a variety of patterns and textures. Meanwhile, the stairwell walls are adorned with a mural inspired by Adam and Eve by Lucas Cranach the Elder.
— Hospitality
Elegance, light, and a southern ambiance
Designing a casual dining interior requires a thoughtful balance of functionality, quality craftsmanship, and a welcoming atmosphere. In this context, hospitality is expressed not only through service and ambiance, but also through the way the space itself invites guests to stay longer. All fixed furnishings — booths, wine shelving, and built-in cabinetry — were custom-made from light wood, which warms the interior and completes the venue’s color palette. Natural materials and the soft lines of the furniture create an environment where guests feel at ease, yet surrounded by a subtle sense of elegance. It is an interior that does not overwhelm — instead, it embraces and invites, cultivating an atmosphere of everyday hospitality at its finest.
