At the Church of Peace Monastery (Stadkloster Frieden) in Bern, a publicly accessible outdoor space has been created, featuring selected outdoor furniture and harmonious plantings. The project demonstrates how high-quality design creates atmosphere and places where people like to linger.
The selected furniture combines durability with timeless design. Their understated character blends harmoniously into the historic ensemble and creates a connexion between architecture, nature and everyday life. The project exemplifies teo jakob’s expertise in designing holistic living spaces, both indoors and outdoors.
The garden chair from Atelier Alinea is considered an example of durable and timeless Swiss craftsmanship. Together with the garden table, also from Atelier Alinea, the outdoor set-up can be individually configured.
The «Palissade» lounge sofa, designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for HAY, is combined here with the «FollowMe» table lamp, designed by Inma Bermúdez for Marset.
Swiss design classics meet on the balcony: Willy Guhl’s beach chair is ideally paired with the «Ecal» stool by Swisspearl.
The «Tech Wood» chairs and table, designed by Alberto Meda (born in 1945) for Alias, offer an elegant yet weather-resistant solution.
The «Regatta» lounge set, designed by the Says Who creative duo for Skagerak by Fritz Hansen, consisting of a chair, table and bench, brings Scandinavian clarity, precise details and weather-resistant performance to the garden.
In the outdoor area of the Church of Peace, another outdoor ensemble comprises the «Type Chair» chairs with a matching table, designed by Jonas Trampedach for HAY. The weather-resistant, stackable aluminium chair is the result of years of testing and workshop trials.
«At the Church of Peace Monastery, our goal was to create an outdoor space that feels at once like a public square and a tranquil cloister garden. With carefully selected outdoor furniture from teo jakob and thoughtful plantings, a space for slowing down was created, inviting people to linger and inspiring them to rethink their own balcony or garden.»
