Starting in May 2019, Studio Riebenbauer will make design perceptible far beyond its national borders, with the opening of the Cup of Ceremony pop-up store, an analogue retreat that combines Japanese traditions and modern design, as well as with the expansion of Studio Riebenbauer by its new company location in San Francisco.

Cup of Ceremony was initiated by Google’s Creative Director Jonathan Chung and his family. It brings Japanese tea ceremonies to Silicon Valley to further the development of all your senses. The first shop was opened as a pop-up concept in Dogpatch, San Francisco and provides its customers with a museum experience in a sensual oasis. Studio Riebenbauer writes the next chapter of a holistic story of experience with the conception and implementation of Cup of Ceremony. The conceptual idea’s central theme of perfect imperfection is reflected in every aspect of this project. “We decipher everyday life and provide precious space for emptiness, to fill it with creativity and personality,” say Franz Riebenbauer and Almut Becvar, true to the motto less is more.
