Idea #2
When arranging the “Choko” Coffee House interior, the customer set an objective to create a classic French room image – respectable and stylish. Baguettes, columns and other elements of moulded décor became the main components of the Paris image. The use of artificial ageing effect techniques in the modelling helped to recreate the required atmosphere. White décor made of polyurethane foam may be painted in any colour (to artificially make a surface look older or to imitate wood, stone or metal).

The use of moulded décors is justified not only from the point of view of “embellishment” (I think no one would argue with the fact that they are able to transform any interior, even the most common one). They visually mark off the space – widening and narrowing it if necessary; they may be used to install hidden lighting and to conceal some structural component. But still the main thing here is a style! Some people like ideal copies of the best decoration patterns of the past centuries, and some like modern shapes. New technologies in the production and application of modelling have made a decorator’s task much easier. It is almost impossible to distinguish visually the décor made of modern materials from gypsum or stone. These elements are strong and hard (and at the same time they are much lighter than the classic ones), they do not become yellow after a while and do not change shape. The simplicity of usage of these décors also attracts many customers. I appreciate them for their extreme simplicity of installation.
