Hummel Kitchens

How do you showcase over 100 styles of kitchen, to avid cooking enthusiasts, in the smallest possible space? And how can you tickle the senses without overloading the exhibit with decoration? One-way is to install an upside down Oyster dinner on the ceiling of the booth and reflect it in the highly polished steel surface of the central kitchen area.

Design and Production of brand spaces

We translate the values and attitude of a brand into the language of a room. As architects we can develop a unique platform for the exchange of products and customer needs.

 

Trade Fair Concepts

Raising your company’s profile is our top priority.

We understand that your appearance at trade fairs is a continuous reflection of your company, its communication objectives and values.

We therefore aim for exceptional results that truly capture the enthusiasm and relevance of each project.

Our goal is to create a coherent overall picture that strengthens the identity of your company, and increases consumer confidence in your business. This applies not only to visitors but also, and more crucially, to employees themselves.

Interior Design

Architecture and design are becoming more consciously used as a means of communicating the persona and attitude of a company. We only come into contact, in a physical way, with a company’s values via their place of work.

Ultimately, it is the experiences that we have from these places of work that help us to interpret a company’s culture in our minds.

Our aim is to understand a company’s culture, then translate and describe it in a physical space.

Often it is the simple and unexpected touches that suddenly change our perception of a company, which leads us to form more positive discussions with them.

Exhibition Design

Only when an exhibition has a successful narrative form can an exhibition be deemed a success.

In collaboration with curators, academic staff and artists we develop a theme. From there we design an overall concept that comprises scenic and narrative spaces.

We are convinced that an exhibit only comes to life, and becomes a true experience, through close collaboration of various disciplines, shared knowledge and a shared understanding.

The development of exhibition spaces, interactive installations, special display cases and lighting concepts are included in our craft.

Event Architecture

Events that remain unforgettable often come from the context of a space that makes a specific staging possible.

To find such premises and develop their potential thematically, and according to the occasion, is our strength.

For this we analyze the possibilities and the peculiarities of the space and create temporary spaces that remain alive in the memory far beyond the event.

We see ourselves as a consultant and designer in close cooperation with the customer, the event agency or the drama director and explore what is possible from a common perspective.
