Harrods to Host Prada Caffé
Space is an extension of the designer apparel brand, with an Italian-inspired menu.
April 5, 2023
Prada Group has opened its Prada Caffè at Harrods in London, a space designed to add a new dimension to the brand and offer Harrods customers a unique experience.
The environment includes Prada’s visual hallmarks, from the décor and menu to the tableware and atmosphere, reflecting the brand’s language, approach and global point of view.
The interior, including velvet-upholstered sofas and armchairs, is the brand’s signature green. The floors reproduce the black-and-white checkered floor of the historic Prada boutique on Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. Floral bas-reliefs on the walls evoke Prada’s flagship stores worldwide.
The tableware is original and exclusive, selected by Prada to match the surroundings and ranges from pale-blue Japanese porcelain with a contrasting double black line inspired by ancient Celadon pottery to blown-glass crystal glassware, including the Triangle series with Prada’s triangular pattern.
The menu ranges from breakfast to evening cocktails. It provides a subtle, modern take on traditional Italian dishes, with sandwiches and risotto sitting alongside buffalo mozzarella, salmon, crab dishes and spritz- and Negroni-based aperitifs complementing the list of signature cocktails. The wine list spans the whole of Italy, with bottles from Sicily to Piedmont.
Pastries play a central role and are displayed both on the main counter and the wall behind.
Prada Caffè is at Harrods London until January 7, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday, with an entrance on Hans Road. It will soon be joined by an outdoor stall offering Londoners a range of ice creams.
