More than Food: How a Lucerne Duo creates new Worlds through Pop-Ups

Raphael Leutenegger and Manuel Kaufmann came up with the idea for "Sportklub" with their first joint project, Pizzeria Da Marcello, which they opened in 2018 together with former business partners in the "Teiggi" area in Kriens. Even then, it was clear that Leutenegger and Kaufmann define gastronomy not only through food but also through a distinct design language. During the renovation of the pizzeria, it became clear how well they complement each other: "Together, we have everything it takes to turn a shell of a building into a functioning restaurant", says Leutenegger.
