Café Steiner

In the ground floor of a corner house from the 1930s by the Brno Jew Endré Steiner, a very intimate and pleasant café has been created. A significant part of its architectural design is credited to Petr Mutina from the Brno studio RAW.
The most striking feature of this café interior is primarily the wall and ceiling cladding, made from waste pieces produced during the manufacturing of wooden folding rulers. The pleasant oak texture is occasionally enlivened by a brightly lacquered piece of wood, giving the walls an additional artistic dimension. Similar folded structures are reminiscent of stone layering, which we still remember well from the baths in Vals or which we might also see in the Olomouc Archdiocesan Museum by HŠH; however, the wooden version is much more visually and haptically pleasant. There’s no point in discussing the technical finesse and precise details because they have become typical for RAW - see Café Blau on Běhounská or Café Fischer on Masaryková.
Indeed, RAW cafés are thriving, as evidenced by the fact that Café Steiner has become a second home for the members of the Brno Municipal House. In any case, they make good cocoa here, and unlike at the Spolek, it is served in a glass with a handle, which I personally greatly appreciate - 1*.
