Opening a new store in Zurich is always special for us at Soeder. After all, it's our hometown – most of the people who work in our soap Factory live here. And when it's also a place you've often passed by and like, the joy is even greater! Stadelhofen station near Bellevue is such a place. We especially love the architecture of Santiago Calatrava: the concrete pillars in the basement are inspired by the ribs of a bull.
The fact that the latest Soeder Store is located in a train station naturally has another reason. Refilling our glass bottles is a central part of the Soeder company philosophy. We believe that it is important to make this refill as easy as possible for you. Soeder is therefore already represented with a store at Zurich main station; at Stadelhofen station, which is one of the ten busiest in Switzerland, we want to continue this success story.
As with all stores, we designed the new branch at Stadelhofen station ourselves with our creative team. They have worked wonders: everything a Soeder Store needs is housed in just 15 square meters – while at the same time continuing the design that you already know from our other stores. For the refill and testing station, we used the characteristic, rounded tiles from the Dutch company D-tile, which have already been used in other stores. They are handmade – and now in our own Soeder color, by the way! The carpeting was woven for us in Langenthal by the traditional Swiss company Ruckstuhl. In addition, there are PMF metal connectors, which support our flexibility and underline our production purity and robustness – and which are also a Swiss product.
