In one of the most beautiful places in the heart of Sofia, in the emblematic Sense Hotel, the Pure and Sense restaurant with its elegance and bohemian chic - almost entirely the execution of the interior is by Ester Sps - makes us feel relaxed and cosmopolitan. The international team led by Chef Francisco Lorenzo provides a gourmet experience for the senses.
All our projects are different and individual, as we only work to order. In this sense, every new project is a new challenge.
In terms of life - the people around me. They are my emotional sponsor. And in terms of interior what we do. We produce aesthetically pleasing, ergonomic and functional furniture.

Rather, the customers changed us. From a small, unknown company, in eight years we have grown to a company that successfully partners with some of the best designers and exports our products outside of Bulgaria. We furnish hotels, offices, restaurants and residential interiors. Customers are bound to be different. We all have different ideals, understandings and perceptions. If we talk about a home, it should be a reflection of its occupant. To have a unique aesthetic distillation. For each project, our main goal in working with designers is to achieve symbiosis with the client regarding the interior. In this way, staying in a given environment will create a maximum feeling of comfort - both physical and mental.
Since each of us is someone's customer at some point, quality is what we all care about. Moreover, we at Ester Sps produce products with a long-lasting nature.
Nowadays, honesty is the greatest luxury a person can afford.
No, it hasn't changed. I believe that more balance is needed between market interests and environmental concerns because we live in a finite world that we think is infinite.
It depends on the purpose and the function it will perform. There are interiors that require it, luxury yachts are an example of this. For me personally, wood creates the most comfort
Yes, they definitely match. I enjoy working with wood. I collect old carpentry tools and planers.
The measure of our success is the customer's reaction. This is also our biggest motivation. In a broader sense, this is a relative term. Success is not the key to happiness, but if you love what you do, with persistence and persistence you will achieve success.
I can't generalize because things are very conditional. For me, they are based on familiarity, character and resilience. Skills are like a muscle that constantly needs to be exercised and strengthened. The people we work with and the way we impact them are of great importance. So I think success depends 10% on what you do and 90% on who you do it with. The other is the ability to learn from mistakes, to pay attention to what really works and what doesn't.
I love winter. Especially when we're at the cottage and it's snowing, I'm by the fireplace watching my son play. Pamporovo is our place, we ski there. The nature of the Rhodopes is very picturesque and invigorating.
Use of natural materials, warm colors and greenery. Even from an aesthetic point of view, a glass bottle on the table will look much more elegant than a plastic one, a linen pillowcase will add more sophistication to the living room than synthetic materials.
