German Interior Design Award 2023

"La Visione" in the southwest of Germany defies conventional gastronomy boundaries. Nestled within the "Object Campus," this unique project isn't just a restaurant. It doubles as a co-working space, café, staff meeting hub, vinotheque, and bar, catering to all. These elements blend seamlessly, offering functionality and ambiance. During the day, the lounge transforms into a creative co-working hub, transitioning into an aperitif lounge in the evening and a venue for unforgettable celebrations on special occasions. The dining area promises a sensory adventure of scents, sounds, and colors. The objective was to subtly yet tangibly showcase the expertise of Denkendorf-based carpet manufacturer "Object Carpet". Textile collages on damask and burlap walls engage in a captivating dialogue with carpet and corduroy.

Responsible for the interior design concept of "La Visione" is the Ippolito Fleitz Group.

The brand-new "Beckesepp" food market in Sölden near Freiburg epitomizes the sale of local foods integrated seamlessly with nature, creating an inviting marketplace ambiance. (Fun fact: "Becke" is dialect for "to bake," and "Sepp" is a vernacular form of Josef.) Except for the floor slab and the expansive glass front, the entire structure is crafted from wood. Its undulating, curved glulam truss roof and green rooftop seamlessly blend it into the Black Forest hills. Local silver fir façade and solid wood walls keep the ecological footprint minimal. Carefully selected materials cultivate a bright, friendly, and serene atmosphere, allowing goods to shine. Modern LED lighting complements the open ceiling, while a large moss logo and hand-lettered wooden boards guide customers.

The interior design concept for "Beckesepp" was crafted by KURIARCHITEKTEN.

Sustainability and the circular economy have taken center stage in the world of trade fairs. This trade fair presentation demonstrates that design clarity and experiential intensity thrive under these principles. Dynamic, rounded stand areas glide into the exhibition hall like the hull of a ship, adorned with over 1200 green spools of thread destined for recycling. "The Green Thread" becomes a defining motif. Acoustic rooms, integrated into the stand concept, serve as vibrant stages for consultations. This concept marries "Ege Carpets'" commitment to future-proof sustainability with a powerful design statement, illustrating the role of imaginative design language in a sustainable future.

The salesroom of the new "Hungry Eyes" optician store in Stuttgart's lively city center shines as an urban stage. Purposefully designed to be open, it ditches rear walls behind shop windows. The focal point is a merchandise support wall transitioning gracefully from soft curtain to brick façade, separating the front from the examination and workshop area. Two round tubes with aluminum shelves serve as flexible product displays. Materials and structures harmonize with the streetscape, from the sand-colored floor coating to the brickwork structure. A metal portal leads to the optician's rear premises, radiating the charm of an old Stuttgart apartment. Stucco, herringbone parquet, and natural stone surfaces meet robust shelving and untreated walls and ceilings.

Responsible for the interior design concept of "Hungry Eyes" is the Siegel & Küppers collective.

"Ōkyū", a Japanese restaurant, reinterprets traditional temple architecture for upscale gastronomy. Japanese cultural influences extend to ceilings adorned with staged noren (traditional Japanese linen curtains) and haikus placed throughout the interior. The almost five-meter-high room boasts artfully finished stone walls with red ceramic glaze. Clever mirroring creates a subtle infinity effect, blurring interior boundaries. Tables, a graphic nod to the Japanese flag, were exclusively designed for this project.

Studio Komo takes credit for the interior design concept of "Ōkyū."

A 19th-century listed building with high ceilings, stucco, and floorboards sets the stage for "The Morgenmuffel". (Morgenmuffel is the German equivalent of sleepy head.) The entrance area accentuates the old building's charm. A minimal color and material scheme, along with a dark terrazzo floor and an oak wood counter, forms a sophisticated image. Various breakfast zones await, including the Blue Salon with its monochrome color scheme, perfect for gentle starts. For those still in dreamland, breakfast in bed beckons. The largest guest room hints at Levantine cuisine in the eastern Mediterranean. A bright, textured wall design contrasts boldly with ceiling and furniture colors.

The interior design concept for "The Morgenmuffel" was brought to life by DESIGN IN ARCHITEKTUR.

"Spring Feast" sits amidst breathtaking natural scenery, fusing water and earth into an unforgettable experience. Elegant entrances via a wide staircase and a picturesque gallery walkway lead visitors in. Organic architecture echoes the cave-like niches, a nod to the spring water's source. Generous windows frame culinary delights in harmony with hills and water. The floor features a two-tone earthy texture, elegantly dividing the space. Lively greenery fills the interior, creating a lush jungle within. "Spring Feast" invites you to experience the fusion of architecture, nature, and culinary art.

Star chef Anton Schmaus, a German wine enthusiast, crafts a homely atmosphere in "Tipsy", reminiscent of a friend's kitchen. A sulphur-yellow kitchen unit takes center stage, surrounded by vibrantly painted mild steel grating wine racks. An oversized, multifunctional salmon pink counter commands attention. Two chandeliers cast soft light, introducing delicate accents to monochrome surfaces. From ultramarine blue window benches to coral alcove corners and turquoise-yellow wall benches, each detail adds character. Though integration of built-in furniture proved challenging due to the listed building's fabric, it was executed seamlessly. The composition cultivates tension and harmony: powerful, striking, clever, and yet unassuming.
