Furniture - Matthias MarteThe staff kitchen was re‑imagined as a compact social hub—a single room that now swings between prep station, lunch spot, and impromptu meeting zone. The brief: inject warmth, cut the corporate grey, and make the space feel distinctly communal.

We started with a colour field: a band of sun‑yellow tiles wraps the backsplash, turning an ordinary wall into a visual landmark and lifting the mood of daily routines. A stainless‑steel island slides into the centre, doubling as chef’s bench and buffet line, while birch‑top café tables orbit the core, ready to reconfigure from coffee huddle to team lunch in seconds.

Overhead, flush disk luminaires cast an even glow that bounces off metal and tile alike, amplifying the yellow without glare. The makeover transforms a once utilitarian corner into the heart of the office—bright, social, and calibrated for quick exchanges as much as quiet bites.
