No. 3 - Winterausgabe 2019_20, Salzburg

L.L. What aspects are especially important for the work
of Marcel Eberharter Design Studio? How would you
describe your style?
M.E. We obviously try to focus on the client, we look at
their personal and individual needs without losing focus of
a certain standard of design. Our style is sustainable and
timeless and we want it to last and look beautiful in the future,
too. We want to create spaces where people feel comfortable,
where they can let go and find relaxation in a cosy
atmosphere. This means the design can’t be too clean or too
frilly. And finding that balance is always an exciting task.

L.L. What were your experiences abroad and how do you
use what you learned here ein Salzburg?
M.E. At United Designers in London I was part of largescale
global projects such as hotel projects in Dubai, highend
developments in Sao Paulo, and private clients’ projects
in London. They gave me a chance to acquire a certain
breadth of perspective that is very useful today. I came back
to Salzburg five years ago and we increasingly find customers
here who consciously look for something extraordinary,
who travel a lot and who want an international touch –
combined with the highest demands for quality Austrian
craftsmanship.
L.L. Speaking of Austrian craftsmanship: you design and
produce your furniture yourself…?
M.E. Our team of craftsmen works with a lot of passion for
detail and sets very high standards for itself. And that also
means that even for projects abroad our team will be right
there to take over and finish the entirety of the interior work
with all its details.

in the future, too.”
“We want to create
spaces where
people will feel
comfortable, where
they can let go and
relax in a cosy
atmosphere.”
“ Finding new
materials and
products is our
bread and butter.”
L.L. How do you respect your clients’ wishes and stick
with your own design language at the same time?
M.E. At first we get to know our clients during a detailed
briefing and we find out who they are and what they expect.
Then we need to create a guideline together. It always is a
balancing act, each client is different and they all want to
be involved differently – and time plays an important role,
too. During our latest project, the Haus am See,
