Cows, pigs and sheep look down from the reverse painted glass panels onto the ornamental tiled ‘Fleischerei Bar’. The hundred year old butchers’ shop by Leipzig-based Michael Gzesiak is transformed into a highly ornate bar. The interior design tries to preserve the charm and patina from the already aesthetically dense space with its original Villeroy & Boch ceramic tiles.

The massive oak bar acts as the focal point, reflecting on the prevailing square theme. A long bench covered with laths of ash is integrated as a pure linear form along the main wall. The wooden elements break with the cold butchery atmosphere turning it into a pleasant environment to eat, drink and stay.
