04 — kā studio
Somewhere between office and home, we built this place.
kā studio is a wellbeing house in the heart of Geneva — yoga, mat and reformer pilates, massage, sauna, cold plunge, a café and a kitchen, under one roof.
Its name comes from Kilada, its first and last letters: a fishing village in Greece where the three of us gather every year to practise. With my two best friends, Inès and Charlotte, we wanted to bring that feeling home.

the place
A restaurant that had lived in Eaux-Vives for years, and a terrace we fell for at first sight. We didn’t want to erase it. We kept what deserved to stay, cleaned what needed cleaning, and let the light do the rest.
THE MAKING
From March to September: oak chosen by hand on a bare concrete floor, stone and terrazzo samples, walls raised, wooden lamps laid out on the tarp, a cold plunge unwrapped the week before opening.
The village café found by the post office in every Swiss resort — brought down to Eaux-Vives. I read the room in layers, from floor to ceiling, and gave each one a Swiss story.
THE IDEA
One logotype in many voices — round, arched, stamped. Two typefaces, four colours, eight marmots and the masks of Swiss carnival: a brand that smiles.

Upstairs, the dining room. Downstairs, a bar and a cellar. Something new to find at every visit.
