About Büro KLK | Kohlmayr Lutter Knapp
“The “office for systemic design” which was
founded by the three eponymous partners
Theresia Kohlmayr (*1985), Jonathan Lutter
(*1981) and Christian Knapp (*1980) in
2010 gained experience in the fields of
gastronomy and temporary use right at the
beginning of their cooperation in the form of
the “Betonküche” project. Here, empty street
front shops in a range of locations across
Vienna were converted for a single night
into pop-up restaurants. This situationist
approach was continued in the form of
hotel rooms under the “Urbanauts” name

and, most recently, developed further and
professionalised under the umbrella brand
Grätzlhotel. Kohlmayr Lutter Knapp is “one
of the most interesting offices of the next
generation due to both the refined interior
designs and to the fact that they work not
only as designers but also as entrepreneurs
and consultants “(Places for People, Biennale
Architettura 2016, Austrian Pavilion, p. 54 ff.).
Their work was considered in the context
of exhibitions, awards and nominations
(American Architecture Prize 2017, Austrian
State Prize for Design 2013, German Design
Award 2015).
