"This is Major Tom to Ground Control i'm stepping through the door and I'm floating in a most peculiar way and the stars look very different today ..." Space Oddity, David Bowie, 1969

For Munich’s first high-class snack bar we developed a brand with an expressive spatial design and realized it in the pilot restaurant in minimal space (“Microrant” 80 m²). The “last snack bar on the edge of the universe” combines the profane element of the fast food snack bar and the sophistication of Japanese culinary culture, the cosmopolitan and the local. The guiding principle of the space traveler’s longing is expressed spatially through the activation of the collective memory of a past future, of the heroic Modern Age, when outer space was considered the last border and Utopia was just around the corner.
