Sacher

In Sacher Eck, a monitor integrated into the architecture provides insights into the in-house Manufaktur and a close-up look at the individual steps that go into the creation of an Original Sacher Torte.

A mixture of artistically executed paper cut-outs, tortes and LED panels on various levels depict some of Old World Vienna’s iconic sights of amidst an impressive visual backdrop.

Painstaking work went into the execution of the highlight installation: the diorama. A scale-model of the Sacher building was crafted out of paper with extraordinary attention to detail to form the backdrop of a panoply of animated scenes conveying a feeling of the inner life of a grand European hotel over the years. A glass of champagne on the terrace, children playing in a magnificent suite, a heartwarming Christmas Eve with gifts aplenty, a comprehensive look at all the steps that go into the creation of torte in the Manufaktur—in this magical edifice, there are countless stories to discover!
