Metal and Wood in the Sunshine

Challenge

An existing pergola was outdated and no longer met the standards of the restaurant. The arrival of spring created some time pressure, but we were able to manage it.

Approach

Restructuring the existing pergola into a sturdy canopy, equipped with a track-mounted lighting system that allows the lights to be moved as needed for each table, enabling a cozy gathering even in the height of summer.

Materials, Processing, Special Features in Detail

Corten steel, curtain fabrics from Lodenwelt Mössner, reclaimed wood from Zimmerei Mahlknecht, track-mounted lighting system

The Finished Solution / Product

Metal and wood creating a comfortable space to gather in the shade.

“Our guests love sitting in the outdoor area. To protect them from the sun, we had a beautiful canopy made in a fascinating and unique combination of metal and wood – perfectly realized by the Metallatelier team.”

“We created this canopy in collaboration with Zimmerei Mahlknecht and Lodenwelt Mössner (for the curtain fabrics), with the goal of enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the popular restaurant from the outside as well.”
