ALLEN KAUFMANN

ALLEN KAUFMANN ARCHITEKTEN is an architecture and design partnership in Berlin, founded in 2014 with roots in New York and led by Justin Allen and Saskia Kaufmann. It works along three strands: Projects, covering architecture, built interiors and renovations; Objects, for furniture and joinery-led prototypes; and Subjects, for experiments at the edge of art and fabrication.

Commissioned work includes restaurants such as 893 Ryotei in Berlin and Nice Dining in Munich, and workplaces for SumUp and Signa Sports United, whose high-rise tower took ArchDaily’s Building of the Year 2026 in interior architecture. Its object arm, ALLEN KAUFMANN OBJECTS, grew from a patented wood joinery that now underpins the DADO series, shortlisted at the Dezeen Awards 2026, and the studio records a decade of work in A4 and A5 PAPERWORKS.
