The main task in lighting was to find a technological solution without losing the naturalness of the interior. That is why the exquisite chandeliers that we have developed in the Optical Metaphor glass-blowing workshop have the unique appearance of... More

Restaurant MUST

Must is a classic steakhouse. The creators tried to show visitors the processes of cooking steaks and interpret this in the same design of the establishment: heat-treated finishing materials, charred dark wood, and metal were used. Lighting creates the effect of flickering fire, and the accompanying components of steaks - bones - are reflected in the chandelier and lamps. Kupriyn Roman Crystal was made into a wide variety of bones that formed the central chandelier of the interior. The light cast on the tables also touches these crystal bones of the chandelier, thus contrasting the sparkling glass against the dark wood finishes. Kupriyn Roman Another type of bone-shaped lamps was developed - they are also made of glass, only in... More

Salon Sacher

BWM Architekten have tastefully inserted elements from the 1920s and 1950s into the newly designed Salon Sacher and have created a cohesive unit that marries the past and the present. Following the redesign of the Sacher Eck at the end of 2017, BWM Architekten have now also redesigned the former Sacher Stube, now known as the Salon Sacher.
