UFO in Lyon is a vibrant hybrid space that transforms throughout the day—from a patisserie and café by morning, to a cocktail bar, restaurant, and coworking hub by evening, complete with a professional podcast studio. When it came to interiors, the UFO team had a clear idea of what they needed from Enky; furnish a public venue that operates from morning to night, withstands heavy use, and embodies a futuristic design vision with no wood, only hard materials and geometric lines. Off-the-shelf furniture was not an option, and Enky provided UFO with the means to achieve their vision without overstretching their budget.
Designer pieces were carefully curated to match the venue’s striking identity while offering the durability required for such a high-traffic space. The subscription model eliminated large upfront costs, allowing UFO to stay agile and protect cash flow while still achieving a tailor-made look. The collaboration demonstrates how Enky adapts to ambitious projects: providing flexible, high-quality furnishings that grow with the space and keep pace with its evolving demands.
