Inspiration
The Champagne glasses move together and melt to one glueless figure like people after Champagne tasting. Champagne River Bar as a transformation of an intangible event into the material World in form of an organic shaped glass pavilion. The glass walls appeared here to be a hybrid form, capturing simultaneously the expressive essences of both liquids and solids. Here start the upbeat of a recoginition journey with the Seine below, which will aglow in the duck in a high gloss. It seems like an obvious gesture of a poet to pronounce Cheers to the unmistakable skyline. It counts only this moment of the unlimited convergence.
Interior
The River Bar interior is designed in a manner which enables each quest on the tabel to stand on the glass front and anjoy the exlusive panoramic view about the Seine. A Champagne tabel with a hanger for the Champagne bucket has been special for this purpose designed. The entire interior is reduced to few main topics: Champagne table with chairs, bar counter with bar stools and the Champagne relief wall.
Lighting and color concept
The inner walls, the ceiling and the floor covering generate in the color white not only a neutral background of the furniture in graphite gray but also the projection screens for illuminations. The entire facade consist of transparent glass take over the function of a monitor of the entire inner life. In the same manner such as the gas pearls within an Champagne glass are rising should be here generate the same effect by LED projeciton in combination with the people movements.
