Munich’s MUN restaurant is bringing a taste of Asia to the heart of Europe. This is no typical Asia-centric restaurant, but a space where chef Mum Kim is free to fully experiment with his expansive creativity. The Korean-American accumulated experience in Argentina, passing through New York (he worked on Wall Street), and curates a menu that ranges from dim sum and sushi, to his specialty, grilled octopus, as well as other meat dishes. Format Works handled the restaurant’s interior design, contaminating the various spaces with diverse traditions.

The dining rooms and lounges are styled to resemble an ancient Asian residence, including Japanese, Chinese, and Korean details and decorations in every angle. Gold and varnish are omnipresent, and natural materials, including wood, cork and moss, recreate a lantern-filled garden in one of the restaurant’s corners. At Mun, one feels worlds away from the heart of Germany.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
