Eis Café Alberto · Maisach, Bavaria

Twenty years of ice cream A new room

An Italian ice-cream parlour opened in 1996 on the outskirts of Munich. After twenty years the room spoke the language of another era: orange walls, dark wood, furniture from different seasons. The restyling changed everything, giving customers back a venue with a clear, bright and still familiar identity.

Since: 1996
Site: November 2016
3M DI-NOC finishes: PS-1188 · FA-1153 · CH-1629AR

Work

The work coordinated counter, wall panelling, tables and elements of the room. The existing surfaces were reinterpreted through a light palette, an abstract pattern and metallic details that bring back brightness and character to the venue.
