THE LIVING ARCHIVE – an invitation to step back and slow down, to experience a take on a library not bound by structure and silence, but open, sensory, and alive. Alongside new collections, we celebrate our community across three locations: the &Tradition showroom, the Lille Petra café, and the newly appointed Petra hotel.
Inviting guests to stay a while, the Lille Petra café serves an extension of &Tradition’s Quarter Past Noon initiative, which is founded on community and a shared philosophy for living well by design. Featuring a seasonal menu centred on regenerative farming, curated by chef Søren Westh, the café offers visitors a place to start their day, enjoy a leisurely lunch, or simply pause for a moment of calm amidst the buzz of the week.
