Phileas office

It has been a great journey we took with Phileas The Austrian Office for Contemporary Art to create the interior for the new wonderful space at Opernring 17, which will be their office and public exhibition space, including the library for the artist books and a flexible office furniture concept to allow quick change of settings from working space to public event space.

MAK exhibition Werkstätte Hagenauer

POLKA created the exhibition design and graphic design of the in-depth overview of the works and archive of Werkstätte Hagenauer. Exhibition from 16.11.2022-3.9.2023. Inspired by the vast treasure of the archive in the storage we show an installation of the storage draws, which invite to discover, learn and love the little objects.

KÖCK café

In the entrance of the supermarket we planned a welcoming little coffee bar in the tradition of an Italian bar, where you can enjoy a quick coffee and a chat  when doing your shopping in the village.

KÖCK shop

Design concept and realisation of the interior of a two-store fashion shop, celebrating the culture of traditional Austrian clothing as well as reflecting modern fashion.

The colour concept and design details were inspired by the vivid colour range of the Austrian ‘Dirndl’ dresses and a modern approach to cherishing heritage.

Leopoldinentempel

The charming temple at a small lake in a park next to Schloss Eisenstadt is made suitable for events like weddings or other celebrations with the furniture that blends in the colours scheme of the historic ambiente.

Schloss Lackenbach Guesthouse ‘Oberjäger’ | Expansion

After the successful opening of Guesthouse ‘Oberjäger’ in 2018, POLKA was once again invited to do the interior design for a series of guest bedrooms and a large breakfast salon located in the historical part of the castle. The interior concept is an eclectic mix of contemporary design and antique furniture from the Esterhazy family collection.

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.

 

Hotel Altstadt | Chocolate Room

For their second room designed for the Hotel Altstadt Vienna, POLKA was inspired by the sweetness and seduction of chocolate. The room is swathed in a variety of brown and cream tones. Bespoke cake-lights, a cake-shaped carpet and a headrest for the bed in the shape of a giant chocolate bar will help you to have the the sweetest dreams.

Hotel Altstadt | Polka Room

The concept for the room interior developed for the boutique Hotel Altstadt Vienna centres around comfort, transparency and elegance. Curtains run along the walls, allowing the guest to alter the perception of the space. The open bathroom, which is integrated into the room with glass walls and curtains, gives the entire room a feeling of warmth and generosity.
