Fritz Lauterbad & Rolf Benz Contract

The traditional Hotel Zollernblick in the Black Forest was completely revamped in 2019 by Steffen Schillinger to create the Hotel Fritz Lauterbad. His concept, “Urban Soul meets Black Forest”, interpreted in architectural terms by archis from Karlsruhe, draws guests with high standards in terms of atmosphere and quality from all over the world.

So it made perfect sense, not just from a geographical perspective, to bring Rolf Benz on board to supply the seating and lounge furniture – from the lobby, bar and restaurant to the rooms, suites and the conference room. The colours and materials draw inspiration from the surrounding landscape. The high quality and natural characteristics of the leather and fabrics are immediately apparent to visitors. The consistent mix of urban lifestyle and striking Black Forest elements has been crowned with the German Design Award 2020.
