Schloss Lackenbach Guesthouse ‘Oberjäger’
The former ‘Försterstöckl’ of Schloss Lackenbach was to be transformed into a guesthouse. POLKA took the inspiration for this interior project from the surrounding environment and the history of the building itself. Traces of different colours and structures of wall paints of the last decades were kept and restored. They were points of reference to develop an elegant and defined colour concept for the rooms. An eclectic mix of historical and contemporary elements create a cosy atmosphere, which is highlighted by restored furniture from the Esterhazy collection. Each of the six rooms is individually designed and themed around botanical specimen or wildlife found around the estate. The big communal salon with its open kitchen invites the guests to cook and enjoy together the tranquility and energy of this special place.
Porcelain Set / Herend
The Hungarian porcelain manufactory of Herend commissioned POLKA to design a new porcelain service with new decorative motifs inspired by Herend’s company history. The plates and bowls are painted by hand in richly varied patterns and blended to form a pot-pourri of lavish diversity, with influences ranging from chinoiserie to graphic decorative motifs of the Orient. For the first time Herend is using blue inglazing for the decoration, hence the porcelain is dishwasher-proof.
