Originally conceived as the Zwingli-bench, the project has evolved into a comprehensive interior redesign of the Grossmünster Kulturhaus Helferei chapel, the former residence of Huldrich Zwingli. The project's primary objective is to preserve the chapel's historical significance while creating a modern and functional space that caters to the needs of its users and exudes a contemporary touch.
The project comprises a range of flexible and adaptable sofas, tables, and working areas that can be arranged in various configurations. These spaces are intended to be comfortable and serene, flooded with natural light and furnished with diverse seating options. The furniture, crafted from solid oak and naturally preserved to ensure longevity, is designed to be unobtrusive, respecting the chapel's history. The natural color palette and materials have been chosen to complement the historical architecture of the chapel. The outcome is a peaceful and evocative space that caters to the users' requirements.
