Project • By GRID System • Hotels

GREFIS Hotel

The GREFIS Hotel in Gräfelfing chose the GRID interior system for the renovation of its lobby and restaurant spaces. The black GRID perfectly fulfilled multiple functional roles within the area while complementing the restaurant's overall design. By combining the 1/2-GRID cube with its larger counterpart, they crafted lightweight, portable coffee tables for the lounge. Additionally, different GRID arrangements served as partitions and decorative accents, effortlessly integrating with the tables throughout the hotel restaurant.
