Concrete Board

Coco-Mat Hotel, situated right in the heart of the most sophisticated and aristocratic Athenian district, is not just another central hotel, but a true oasis of tranquillity and good taste amid the chaos of the bustling metropolis. The building, dating back to the 1930s, underwent a radical renovation that literally transformed it into a superb hotel that meets all contemporary demands for comfort, functionality and aesthetic perfection. The choice of PROLAT Lavaplaster and the use of “Concrete Board” and “Concrete Betoform” styles set off to advantage the final result, contributing to the creation of a modern environment where austere elegance and discreet luxury are ideally combined with the clean lines of the industrial style. It is an excellent example of how to use inspiration and art, in any form, to add beauty to everyday life!


The physical environment in which certain products of fashion wear are sold is of utmost importance to the customer. The ambience of a shop is full of symbolisms and its aesthetics adds value to the goods sold. Ioannis Roumeliotis is an ardent supporter of this concept; this is why he cooperates with PROLAT, the leading producer and manufacturer of architectural products in Greece, a company that possesses highly trained specialized crews and executives with high aesthetic standards and capable of thinking outside the box, who stand out in their respective fields.

Rook is the tower in chess terminology. If you think of Trikala as a castle, then “Rook” is its tower! Everybody wants to go there! Wine nights, burger nights, parties with molecular cocktails… Rook has it all: top quality in everything it offers and architectural innovation that pleases the eye –a great place in black “n” white shades where PROLAT Lavaplaster has really made a difference. The warmth of the human presence adds the final touch to the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

The truth is that, in order to attract new customers under today’s competitive conditions, all businesses, including hairdresser’s salons, have to try hard and look after every single detail.

Great style, architectural innovations and high aesthetics based on PROLAT relief Lavaplaster.

“Ancho”, the new Mexican grill that has opened in Halandri, was named after a smoked chili pepper used extensively in Mexican cuisine. It is a multicoloured place, with comfortable couches, PROLAT Lavaplaster on the floors and demoulded PROLAT planks on the piers. This imaginative combination used by KM architektones seems to have resulted in a warm and welcoming environment, ideal for enjoying the best Mexican dishes!

In St. Irene’s Square, in downtown Athens, there are restaurants and cafés for every taste. Spollati restaurant in Aiolou Street is one of the best. From culinary perspective, the dish that really stands out is trahanoto with mushrooms, ideally accompanied by a good wine. As far as architectural design is concerned, the dominant style is evidently industrial, with a look of demoulded concrete on the walls and Lavaplaster in dynamic colours in the bathrooms.

Don’t you just love the industrial look of this place and the "Concrete Board" on the walls? The whole atmosphere seems to invite us to enjoy a generous portion of loukoumades (deep-fried dough balls).
