Lenbach is a bar and restaurant housed in a nineteenth century Munich Palace. Conran & Partners interior design uses a narrative concept based on the seven deadly sins, a scheme fitting both the history of the building and the fin de siécle atmosphere. The classical axis of the building acts as a processional space. The opaque glass balustrade of the upper gallery is used as a screen for projected images.

The basement foyer and the rest rooms were conceived as an imaginary prison, with rough slate floors, red plaster walls and zinc and stainless steel doors and fittings.

Conran & Partners managed to create a scheme that is simultaneously appropriate to its historical setting and the informal, twenty-first century café society in which it exists.
