Wilde Ente Iserlohn

Rustic yet refined, modern yet timeless – the interiors conceived by JOI-Design for the refurbished restaurant Wilde Ente, which translates as “wild duck”, shine with a new brilliance as the first milestone has been achieved in the studio’s extensive renovation of the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Iserlohn, a city in Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia state.

As a long-established getaway destination, the hotel enjoys a comfortable familiarity that has been interpreted afresh through the renovated restaurant’s new, down-to-earth design. Modern industrial touches create an easy-going, young-spirited atmosphere – an ideal backdrop for the culinary focus upon seasonal, high-quality and locally-sourced ingredients.

A self-supporting staircase connects the upper and lower levels of the maisonette-style building, forming a dynamic layout that accommodates not only the dining areas, but also a bar, a cosy lounge and fireplace, and small retail nook.
