CARLO Design creates hotel lobbies, restaurants and dining rooms in Berlin, from concept through materials and bespoke pieces to site management. Our Berlin references include Brasserie le Paris in the Maison de France on Kurfürstendamm and a hotel lobby with a wall of living plants. Architecture, interior design and the building site sit with one team.
On hotel and restaurant projects we choose the furniture only once we know the building. Brasserie le Paris sits in the Maison de France on Kurfürstendamm, next door to the Cinema Paris and the Institut Français. For the design we travelled to Northern France to experience real brasseries.
That became bordeaux, petrol and aubergine, velvet and brass, ZAHNA porcelain stoneware, countertops based on historical models and bespoke lighting by Marie Martin. For the hotel lobby we took a different route, with green, gold and a wall of living plants. Both started with the question of how a guest should feel there.
A dining room has to work on a full evening and still look good after years of heavy use. We plan for both from the start.
Research into the building and its guests, then colour, material and light. From that we develop a design that suits your business and does not look dated after a year.
See Brasserie le ParisWe draw banquettes, bars, countertops and lights ourselves and have them made by workshops we work with. That way furniture and architecture meet to the centimetre.
If the use changes or load-bearing parts are affected, a permit procedure is usually required. In Berlin we file the application ourselves. On site we run the tender, trades, schedule and budget through to handover.
Construction management in BerlinGuests remember how comfortable they were and what the light was like far more than any particular material.
The entrance should let people arrive without rushing. In the hotel lobby a patterned upholstered bench stands on the way to check-in.
Gold floor lamps, pendants with visible filaments, wall lights at the banquettes. Light in a dining room can be warm and focused; it does not have to be even.
Velvet banquettes and upholstery should be beautiful and survive a full evening. We set covers, seat heights and depths for daily service.
Porcelain stoneware, brass and hand-finished bars develop a patina over time and do not look worn even after years.
Service, cloakroom, toilets, deliveries: a dining room has to work on a full evening. We settle these routes in the floor plan before we talk about fabrics.
Architecture, interior design and site management work together with us, so that what was designed is what gets built.
Then four short questions. We reply within one working day, with no obligation. We speak English, German and Spanish.
