De Bijenkorf Utrecht Restaurant

Following up the first successful collaboration, the Artist in Residence Room On The Roof in .Amsterdam, i29 interior architects now realized the design of restaurant 'The Kitchen' for DeBijenkorf Utrecht, a high quality department store offering an extraordinary customer experience. A masterplan by Rijnboutt Architects optimized the complete department storeincluding a new facade and brand new top floor, where the restaurant is positioned. The brief was to create a unique dining experience which seduces and inspires. i29 developed aconcept for the interior design expressing freshness and variety; a subtle reference to food ingeneral, and the diversity of flavors presented in the open kitchen area. The layout revealsseveral spatial experiences throughout the 850 m2 open area, with a variety of seating. Fromprivate and cosy, towards more open and bright dining areas. This offers customers a choice inthe way they would like to sit, eat, drink or work.
