La Parada, Ibiza
2024
La Parada, a boutique in Santa Gertrudis, Ibiza, is an artistic space envisioned by founder Sophie Daunais and meticulously designed by the rewarded interior architecture studio CHZON. Inspired by the atelier of a ceramic sculptor, the boutique offers a gallery-like atmosphere where every piece of bespoke furniture, including the featured table in the kids' room, the cactus lampshades, blobject coatracks and wavy shelves are crafted from organic materials and exhibits playful, natural shapes.
Material
The table, lampshades, bases and shelves are made almost entirely from Hempcrete, with both the hemp fibers and natural cement and limestone sourced from France. The cement is a minimally processed natural product, underscoring the studios commitment to circularity and local sourcing.
Process
Due to the table’s dimensions—100 x 150 x 100 cm—and weight—approximately 450 kg—it was assembled on-site by stacking blocks, with an integrated wooden layer for structural stability. After forming the basic shape, the table was sculpted using a subtractive methodology. The surface was then finished with natural limestone plaster, ensuring both durability and a seamless integration into the boutique’s artistic environment. The blue ladder, which reaches towards a window, was constructed alongside the table using a combination of wood, locally grown grass, and limestone, further enhancing the playful and sustainable design of the space.

Wavy Shelf
2024
Every shelf has a hand-cut wooden core for structural stability. Over this, hemp shives and natural limestone are layered and shaped before a final coat of limestone plaster sets the surface — ensuring durability and a seamless integration into the boutique's artistic environment.
Dimensions: 150 x 50 x 150 cm
Material: hempcrete, limestone, wood
Cactus Wall Lamp
2024
The lampshades are crafted almost entirely from natural local fibres and limestone, with only the attachment system in metal. Freehand-moulded, no two are exactly alike — much like the forms found in nature.
Dimensions: 25 x 25 x 10 cm
Material: limestone, local grass, metal
Blobject Bases
2024
Every base is hand-moulded in hempcrete and coated in natural limestone. A drilled channel through the centre receives the coat rack. Like all hand-formed objects, each one is slightly different.
Dimensions: 35 x 35 x 45 cm
Material: hempcrete, limestone
