The design studio Yabu Pushelberg has announced the completion of Moët & Chandon Bar Berlin. In this feature, we look at the design inspiration along with a peek inside the new luxurious premises, which showcases the iconic champagne house’s essence and soul.
Global design studio Yabu Pushelberg was entrusted by champagne house Moët & Chandon to design the Moët & Chandon Bar Berlin, a dazzling destination nestled within KaDeWe, the best-known department store in Germany, which debuted November 1, 2023.
Setting out with a desire to capture the essence of Moët & Chandon, the studio first needed to consider how to reinvigorate the meaning of heritage. Yabu Pushelberg were able to achieve this by delving into the past, designing an environment that visually expresses Moët & Chandon entering its next chapter of legacy.
“To design for Moët & Chandon is to understand craftsmanship remains the living soul of the champagne house. We are honoured to be entrusted with the challenge of shaping the visual expression of a Moët & Chandon experience.” – George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg.
The design studio’s mission was a monumental one: to ignite the profound wonder encapsulating Moët & Chandon’s rich heritage and elevate its legacy as the most loved champagne house in the world.
Yabu Pushelberg initiated their design process by exploring the intricate interplay of craftsmanship and emotion. They recognised that craftsmanship, characterised by its subtleties, unwavering commitment to quality, and meticulous attention to detail, was the north star.
These attributes seamlessly metamorphosed into emotions intrinsically tied to Moët & Chandon’s essence: desire, intimacy, and celebration.
Challenging the notion that champagne is reserved solely for special occasions, Yabu Pushelberg designed the Moët & Chandon Bar Berlin as a venue to celebrate the small and big wins of everyday life.
To capture this vision, the studio blended the free spirit of Moët & Chandon and the precision of craftsmanship to create a visually fluid and exuberant environment that not only attracts but resonates with the essence of Berlin.
