»I was impressed by how precisely we were able to define the right lighting settings together with Occhio. The atmosphere was there immediately — an instant sense of comfort that carries the space. It is very important for us that the light can be adjusted exactly to our vision, that it works quietly in the background while setting precise accents. Especially in a dining context, this plays a central role.«
The language of materials
Craftsmanship, precision, and a commitment to leaving nothing to chance: restaurateur Bernhard Zimmerl consistently brings his vision to life on his own terms. High quality materials, exceptional standards, uncompromising execution, and the perfect presentation of his refined creations are at the core of his work. His idea of an emotional staging is carried by light — from the darker welcome scene to the moment when dinner begins.
As the atmosphere evolves throughout the evening through varying levels of brightness, the set table becomes a stage. The refined interplay of color, material, and form unfolds like a multi scene performance, reflected both in the details of the menu and in the luminaires. This holistic approach runs like a common thread through every nuance — a harmonious pas de deux, full of character, surprising, and unique in its own way.
