For almost 35 years music venue EKKO is known for their sharp profile of new and promising artists, from gritty grunch bands to hipster hip hop acts. Acts such as Franz Ferdinand, The Black Keys, Father John Misty, Grizzly Bear, Nils Frahm and many others performed in EKKO in their early days.

Besides an inspiring band programming, EKKO is known for their sharp night club. Acts like Job Jobse, Nuno Dos Santos, Palms Trax and Floating Points have been playing live sets at their intimate and atmospheric club nights.

Being the only music venue left in the inner city of Utrecht still housing a historical location next to the authentic canals, the interior is an essential part of the experience of a night spent in EKKO.

With serving a wide variety of both acts and guests, Studio TOIMII created a character profile and mood board, by analyzing EKKO's visitors, corporate identity, marketing campaigns and programming. With a defined profile and functional requirements, the bar with adjoining café were redesigned and furnished with minimal, effective means supporting the intimicy and eclectic atmosphere at EKKO.

This interior is currently in developments. Come back later for a more complete impression of this project.
