Péché is a small confectionery that opened recently in the center of St. Petersburg. The establishment positions itself as a cafe for every day with freshly roasted coffee, a clear menu, wine and original desserts. "It was important for the customer that the space was equally comfortable in the morning and in the late evening," architects Albert and Inna Baghdasaryan say.

The architects immediately decided that visitors should be in the foreground in the cafe, and therefore tried to create a cozy and at the same time laconic interior. "Restrained colors, shapes and a minimum of decor allow you to see the main thing — a guest, a lover of delicious food, drink good coffee, surround yourself with beauty and enjoy the process."

The entire space from floor to ceiling is painted gray — one of the main colors of St. Petersburg. It is diluted with warm shades of pistachio and coffee. The main decorative element was the suspended structure, which, bending, passes through the entire space. Smooth lines give playfulness to a rather strict atmosphere.

The cafe has a pretty tight fit. In the center there is a large communal table where guests can make new acquaintances or communicate with large companies. Along the perimeter of the hall there are small tables made of solid wood, complemented by armchairs and poufs. One of the walls of the cafe is decorated with mirrors that visually double the space.

An ascetic bar counter with a glass showcase focuses on baking — another important hero of the project. There is a small wooden countertop on the side of the counter, behind which guests can also sit.
