WakuWaku has relaunched itself as afast food restaurant and organic food store in one. The brand values ‘organic’ and ‘sustainable’ remain the clear focus of all communication. The large, open façade provides an unrestricted view of a space, which is almost entirelyencased in solid wood panelling, creating the ideal stage to display the products in the WakuWaku world. One side wall with floor-to-ceiling shelving integrates both display compartments and glass-frontedrefrigerators. A long central counter and parallelnichesprovide seating spots for all communicative requirements. Different shapes of chair break up the seating landscape and hark back to the original WakuWaku outlet – as do the chair legs, dipped in the WakuWakucorporatecolour. The untreated wood dominating the spaceis synonymous with the chain’s ecological sustainability. The rough wooden surfaces contrast with the intricate wall sketchescreated by Chris Rehberger using taut strings and the canopy of fine wire lamps.
