(Gabriela Daltro/CASACOR)
Although the name is not very common, everyone has certainly seen a
German corner in their life: it is
what we call a dining table that consists of a sofa or bench and a set of chairs. The solution is widely used to optimize the area dining area, as the sofa accommodates more guests and takes up less space.

The name comes from its origin: pubs and bars in Germany used sofas to fill the spaces in the corners of the rooms and accommodate more customers. In Brazil, it is quite common to find them in restaurants and cafes.
CASACOR 's team from all over Brazil followed the trend and created dining rooms, kitchens and commercial spaces with a German corner in 2022. Check out the inspirations below.
