Karls Kitchen is the new restaurant of luxury department store Breuninger in Stuttgart. The kitchen is the free-flow restaurant’s central element. The entrance to the restaurant is characterized by large glass fridges with fresh products that also function as a display window.
The restaurant is divided into 3 different seating areas, each with its own identity and character. First of all there is the traditional seating area, which refers to Breuninger’s history and the traditions within the department store, as well as in Stuttgart. The modern seating area represents the Stuttgart of today, and the Lounge is the refuge and, at the same time, the connection between the modern and the traditional seating areas.
An overarching element connecting the spaces to one another is one long wall with graphic wallpaper. Where walls are interrupted by glass panels or doors, the glass is decorated with the same print, but transparent, thereby maintaining the overall.
