Parallels can also be drawn between the locations in Stuttgart and Düsseldorf in terms of the interior layout, which reflects the unmistakable character of Eduard’s Bar. The narrow floor plan in the spatial structure is a feature of corporate design.

Material and color contrasts underline the modern spatial concept. Zoning is created through the dark area in the back, which sets the perfect stage for the bar counter, and the brightly designed area for guests along the glass facade. This area offers guests comfortable seating and the opportunity to sit in the front row.

The long window façade allows sunlight to hit every spot, providing natural lighting of the interior and transforming the bar into the perfect place for select snacks and quick breakfast options during the day. The impressive panorama and the opportunity to observe what is happening along the riverside promenade from up close make Eduard’s a popular meeting place.

The massive bar counter with a concrete look forms the centerpiece of the interior and is a crucial part of the unique spatial concept of the bar.

The clear lines of the liquor shelves behind the bar counter pick up on the pattern of the ceiling installation. The leather-covered bar stools in combination with the brass filigree legs fit in stylishly with the overall ambience and convey a warm welcome to guests.
Another impressive feature that will surely attract visitors’ attention is the selection of spirits, which underlines the distinctive bar concept and whose high quality and elegance contribute towards shaping the identity of Eduard’s Bar.

A height gradient of the seating areas from the low lounge area along the façade to the high bar stools at the bar counter enables visual contact between the interior and outdoor areas.

The spacious outdoor area in front of the bar, with around 120 seats, offers the perfect setting for the finely crafted lounge chairs and tables and continues the design concept from the interior.

The combination of outdoor seating with a mobile bar invites visitors to sit back and relax, while the large, decorative olive trees give the whole area a Mediterranean flair..
