The starting point of developing a new Bijenkorf
restaurant was that the restaurant had to be part
of ?de Bijenkorf? and its philosophy: ?The restaurant
as a kitchen? of de Bijenkorf. The basic concept is
an open kitchen consisting of different world cuisines.
As a restaurant in a department store, the main focus
lies on the ?goods? - the cooking materials and foods,
in which it is important to show guests the various
ingredients and bases for each dish. concrete
developed a cupboard in which all products can be
displayed. It also serves as an architectural element
that creates different zones within the restaurant and
various seating areas, provides storage space for the
daily ingredients and serves as the back of a bar.
The kitchen, the heart of the restaurant, has been
placed in the middle of the space and can be
reached from two sides. This central position
automatically creates two zones, in which the two
seating areas blend into the kitchen.
