The new Breuninger department store in Düsseldorf is housed in the prestigious Kö-Bogen designed by Daniel Libeskind. It accommodates the first mainland branch of the famous Sansibar restaurant from the North Sea island of Sylt. Herbert Seckler who owns the restaurant on the island is a national celebrity in his own right. Now he has granted his first licence for a restaurant outside the island.
DITTEL | ARCHITEKTEN were given the task of designing and implementing the restaurant measuring 230 m² and adjacent areas. The brief was to transfer the relaxed and informal atmosphere of the original restaurant to the Rhine metropolis. In keeping with Breuninger harmony, the restaurant was to radiate a natural, high-class flair. The aim was to unify two strong brands, Breuninger and Sansibar, under a single roof so that each can profit from the other.
In order to experience the atmosphere of Sylt, typical materials were used, such as old wood for the panelling and tables made of solid oak. Wine is a key theme for the Sansibar, and this was integrated in the draft plans as a characteristic element.
