Poland Empik revives the former Cepelia pavilion

Retail & leisure
Empik has opened a flagship store in the revitalised former Cepelia pavilion in the centre of Warsaw. Neglected for years, the modernist building has regained its former glory and once again impresses with its original appearance and modern interior.
The Empik Marszałkowska store is located in an iconic building at Rondo Dmowskiego, in the heart of the capital. The renovated Cepelia pavilion impresses anew, faithfully reflecting the modernist spirit of the original. The glass walls and characteristic free-standing display cabinets have returned. The unique ceramic mosaic designed by Stanisław Kucharski and consisting of hand-made tiles has been carefully renovated. The new Empik also had room for the symbol of Cepelia - the famous rooster.
