Located in Pfefferberg, a former mid-19th century brewery turned multidisciplinary cultural centre in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg, KINK is a unique venue where gastronomy and mixology fuse into one cohesive experience. Founded by Oliver Mansaray and Daniel Scheppan, whose shared passion lies at the intersection between international food and drinking cultures, KINK brings together a bar, restaurant and in-house culinary laboratory in a space that fittingly marries the building’s historic legacy and architectural heritage with contemporary art and design. Mansaray and Daniel couldn’t have picked a better venue than Pfefferberg for their experimental venture. Founded by local residents in 1990, the transformation of the long-abandoned brewery into galleries, artist studios and event venues addressed lingering sentiments of segregation and displacement - Prenzlauer Berg being an area of Berlin that was once divided by the Berlin wall. Inspired by Pfefferberg’s cultural ambition, which boasts a year-long programme of concerts, dance and theatre performances, KINK’s focus on the culinary and cocktail arts is complemented by its embrace of applied and decorative arts. “We cherish art that interrogates, moves and stimulates exchange”, the founders explain. “Art reveals differences – and similarities.”
KINK位于普费弗贝格（Pfefferberg），那里是19世纪中叶啤酒厂转变成的柏林普伦茨劳堡（Prenzlauer Berg）的多学科文化中心，是一个独特的美食场所，美食和混合烹饪融合为一体。KINK由Oliver Mansaray和Daniel Scheppan创立，他们共同的激情在于国际饮食文化之间的交汇处，KINK在一个空间中集合了酒吧，餐厅和内部烹饪实验室，将建筑物的历史遗产和建筑遗产与当代元素完美地结合在一起艺术与设计。曼萨雷（Mansaray）和丹尼尔（Daniel）在实验性事业上没有一个比费弗伯格（Pfefferberg）更好的地方。由当地居民于1990年创立，将废弃的啤酒厂转变为美术馆，艺术家工作室和活动场所解决了种族隔离和流离失所的缠绵感-普伦茨劳贝格（Prenzlauer Berg）是柏林的一处区域，曾经被柏林墙隔开。受到Pfefferberg的文化野心的鼓舞，该文化野心勃勃的表演包括为期一年的音乐会，舞蹈和戏剧表演节目，KINK对烹饪和鸡尾酒艺术的关注得到了实用艺术和装饰艺术的补充。创始人解释说：“我们珍惜审讯，移动和促进交流的艺术。” “艺术揭示差异和相似之处。” KINK对烹饪和鸡尾酒艺术的关注得到了实用艺术和装饰艺术的补充。创始人解释说：“我们珍惜审讯，移动和促进交流的艺术。” “艺术揭示差异和相似之处。” KINK对烹饪和鸡尾酒艺术的关注得到了实用艺术和装饰艺术的补充。创始人解释说：“我们珍惜审讯，移动和促进交流的艺术。” “艺术揭示差异和相似之处。”
The historic building’s industrial heritage is infused with contemporary art and design, most notably in the 8-metres-high hall at the heart of KINK where the exposed, centuries-old building structure is complemented by classic and vintage furniture, including Hans Hopfer-designed Mah Jong sofas for Roche Bobois, North Africa-inspired Berberlin handcrafted rugs, and artwork by German artist Philipp Emanuel Eyrich. The space is dominated by Swiss artist Kerim Seiler’s imposing neon light installation suspended above the central open kitchen and bar designed by Berlin studio Hidden Fortress. Seiler’s sculptural work explores the interrelation between materiality and spirituality, engaging with space both physically and conceptually, and this installation is no exception. Titled ‘Spaceknot (Pfefferberg)’, Seiler’s site-specific work consists of over 100 metres of red neon tubes that effortlessly twist and loop through the space, uncannily fleshing out the three-dimensionality of the central void. Designed as a communal zone, the central open kitchen and bar area features overlapping seating, serving counters and work stations where guests and staff intermingle, while more intimate seating areas fan out from the main hall, including a mezzanine lounge accessed through an antique cast iron spiral staircase. A separate daylight-filled dining space overlooking Pfefferberg’s beer garden, one of the oldest in Berlin, and a private dining room complete KINK’s multifaceted character.
历史建筑的工业遗产注入了当代艺术和设计，尤其是在KINK中心8米高的大厅中，那里暴露了百年历史的建筑结构与经典和老式家具（包括Hans Hopfer设计的）相辅相成罗氏博瓦依（Roche Bobois）的Mah Jong沙发，北非风格的Berberlin手工地毯，以及德国艺术家Philipp Emanuel Eyrich的艺术品。该空间由瑞士艺术家Kerim Seiler的气势宏伟的霓虹灯装置控制，该装置悬挂在柏林工作室Hidden Fortress设计的中央开放式厨房和酒吧上方。Seiler的雕塑作品探索了物质性和精神性之间的相互关系，无论是在物理上还是概念上都与空间互动，这种装置也不例外。标题为“太空结（Pfefferberg）”，Seiler的特定地点工作包括100多米的红色霓虹灯管，这些霓虹灯管可以轻松地在空间中扭曲和循环，从而毫无意义地充实了中央空隙的三维空间。设计为公共区域，中央开放式厨房和酒吧区设有重叠的座位，为柜台和工作人员和工作人员混合提供工作台，而更私密的座位区则从大厅散开，包括通过古董铸铁进入的夹层休息室螺旋楼梯。一个单独的充满日光的用餐空间，俯瞰着柏格（Pfefferberg）的啤酒花园，这是柏林最古老的啤酒花园之一，而一间私人餐厅则完全体现了KINK的多面性。设计为公共区域，中央开放式厨房和酒吧区设有重叠的座位，为柜台和工作人员和工作人员混合提供工作台，而更私密的座位区则从大厅散开，包括通过古董铸铁进入的夹层休息室螺旋楼梯。一个单独的充满日光的用餐空间，俯瞰着柏格（Pfefferberg）的啤酒花园，这是柏林最古老的啤酒花园之一，而一间私人餐厅则完全体现了KINK的多面性。设计为公共区域，中央开放式厨房和酒吧区设有重叠的座位，为柜台和工作人员和工作人员混合提供工作台，而更私密的座位区则从大厅散开，包括通过古董铸铁进入的夹层休息室螺旋楼梯。一个单独的充满日光的用餐空间，俯瞰着柏格（Pfefferberg）的啤酒花园，这是柏林最古老的啤酒花园之一，而一间私人餐厅则完全体现了KINK的多面性。

Italian chef Ivano Pirolo, most recently chef de partie at the two-Michelin-starred FACIL in Berlin, and Indian-born bar manager and mixologist Arun Puvanendran, have re-worked a range of processes, from fermentation and sous-vide to distillation and infusion, to produce a complementary selection of creative dishes and inventive beverages. A re-jigged Classic Margarita can be paired, for example, with a deconstructed taco, while a contemporary version of a penicillin mixed drink goes splendidly with an order of Chicorée filled with minced lamb and mole. If the open kitchen and bar area embodies KINK’s heart then the adjacent “laboratory” represents its creative mind. Reflecting Mansaray and Scheppan’s experimental and synergetic approach to gastronomy and mixology, the space functions as an open workshop where modern techniques and culinary expertise come together, with Pirolo and Puvanendran hosting a monthly Lab Day for those looking to hone their culinary and mixology skills. With a cultural programme that includes electronic, house and disco DJs and classical music performances, we have no doubt that KINK will excel in its goal to become “a socio-cultural space for healing, reconstruction and discovery”.
意大利大厨伊凡诺·皮罗洛（Ivano Pirolo），最近两次担任柏林米其林星级餐厅的厨师，印度出生的酒吧经理兼调酒师阿伦·普瓦南德兰（Arun Puvanendran），已经重新设计了一系列流程，从发酵和酸味发酵到蒸馏和注入，以产生创意菜肴和发明性饮料的补充选择。重新装瓶的经典玛格丽塔酒可以与解构的炸玉米饼搭配，而现代版的青霉素混合饮料则带有奇克雷意味浓郁的羊肉和葡萄胎。如果开放式厨房和酒吧区体现了KINK的心脏，那么相邻的“实验室”就代表了其创造力。反映了曼萨赖（Mansaray）和席普潘（Scheppan）对美食和混合学的实验性和协同性方法，该空间作为一个开放式工作坊，将现代技术和烹饪专业知识融合在一起，Pirolo和Puvanendran每月举办一次“实验室日”，以供那些希望磨练其烹饪和调酒技能的人士使用。凭借包括电子，家庭和迪斯科DJ以及古典音乐表演在内的文化计划，我们毫不怀疑KINK将在实现“康复，重建和发现的社会文化空间”这一目标方面表现出色。
