Bar am Gendarmenmarkt

The red lacquered walls with the mounted glossy panels of picture size form the basic design element of the Bar am Gendarmenmarkt. The light connects these two surfaces. A light color was selected which lets the coral red of the wall glow.
Over the bar, a luminous ceiling which shimmers in a mellow red was hung down into the room.

    • Gläserne Manufaktur Dresden

      Project

      In Dresden, VW constructs its vehicles in a completely different way: in a production site made of glass visible to all. The light behind the transparent facades puts the production process on stage. Reflectors shine warm-toned, glare-free light
      directly on the high-quality industrial workplaces with studio character and, at the same time, avoid any exterior light emission to protect the adjacent nature park. The light follows the route of the vehicles until handover to the customers. Stage lighting for performances and cultural events complements this
      extraordinary presentation of the automobile.
