One of the most famous designers in the world,Philippe Starck, has opened the doors to his latest project this current month in Paris, a restaurant set within one of the biggest flea markets in the world, in the Saint Ouen flea market at the northern edge of the city, a site which attracts both tourists and locals.
Ma Cocotte is described by Starck as “a bowl”, triggering childhood memories with all the vintage accessories yet open to a stainless steel kitchen.
In his own words, Starck describes his concept:
My midget, my rabbit, my doe, my poppet, my hen, my quail, ma cocotte.
The canteen designed by Philippe Starck opens its doors in Saint Ouen flea market.
Led by the restaurateurs Philippe & Fabienne Amzalak with Yannick Papin as chef, ma cocotte is a restaurant with 250 seats, divided between an industrial loft and two terraces located on Serpette and Paul Bert markets.
Admirative of flea market society, of its antiquaries, Philippe Starck has always wanted to move there and be like them.
With this restaurant, he realized his childhood dream.
“Ma cocotte is not a restaurant, it's a bowl.
A bowl of hot soup, a bowl of steaming coffee, a bowl of fragrant tea, a bowl of wine…
Ma cocotte, in a beautiful winter morning, is fire, arms welcoming to warm your heart and body.
That's all, but it's a lot.
Welcome home. “

Such a lovely concept, nothing beats fresh pizza, and Del Popolo is a mobile pizzeria that brings fire wood pizza to you and I don’t mean in a “home delivery” way, this truck actually features a 5000 ld Stefano Ferrara wood burning oven (capable of producing 72 pizzas) in a modern glass enclosed exhibition kitchen.
Why is this concept special? Well the idea of combining portable pizza, an age old technique, and a funky design is really incredible.

Cotta is a very trendy cafe in Melbourne, Australia designed by MIM Design making use of a number of lovely natural materials complementing each other in the best way possible. In this project the designers kept the overall image rustic yet with clean and sleek inserts of marble and a beautiful modern central chandelier. Materials used are warm and earthy with steel partitions and variations in seating arrangements, which was my favorite part of the setting.I loved the emphasis on the central axis of the cafe, it's what I would have done.
Mim Design worked on the entire concept including the venue name, graphics & branding, and interior design.
