Rather than dread your next dental check-up, Studio Karhad wanted to imbue the excitement and stimulation of a night out with a visit to The Urban Dentist in central Berlin, using colour and texture over the sterile white surfaces often associated with dental anxiety. Rather than approach the design of this dental clinic in central Berlin through the paradigm of a surgery or medical practice, Studio Karhad applied the layout of a bar or concept store. Colour and texture replace the sterile white surfaces often associated with dental anxiety. Exposed concrete, mirrored surfaces, glass panels and fun pink sofas stand in their place. An ambient system of backlighting changes colour constantly, a dynamic element that helps create a calming atmosphere.
