Gaggenau & Occhio – a perfect cooperation

Gaggenau and Occhio share the same philosophy, whether it be their unique affinity for details, their outstanding quality or their timeless design. Therefore, the showrooms of the manufacturer for exclusive kitchen appliances are perfectly staged with Occhio’s luminaires. The Munich-based architectural office 1zu33 is responsible for the design and implementation.

The new Gaggenau showroom in Guangzhou is astonishing! Located on the 52nd floor of the International Finance Center, the showroom with more than 290 m² offers a breath-taking view of the largest city in southern China. Designed by Munich architectural office einszu33, it incorporates traditional elements from the region. Oyster farming in the Pearl River Delta, for instance, was a major inspiration in the ceiling design.

Large, vaulted brass nets recall the shape of the region's oyster houses. Occhio Più spotlights were installed behind the nets and radiate an unbelievably warm light with a shimmering glow.

The highly polished concrete showroom floor also takes its cue from the Pearl River and simulates the reflection and movement of the water.
