If Dogs Run Free bar by Tzou Lubroth Architekten. This cocktail bar in Vienna by Tzou Lubroth Architekten features a faceted ceiling of upside-down peaks inspired by the mountain landscapes of traditional Chinese paintings.
Local architects Gregorio S. Lubroth and Chieh-shu Tzou teamed up with three friends to design, build and launch the bar themselves, before adding the spiky ceiling as the first in a series of installations by different artists and designers. "We want the bar to be a place where a larger conversation about design and art can occur," Lubroth told Dezeen. V'ammos Restaurant at Karaiskakis Stadium by LM Architects. Spectators at the stadium of Greek football team Olympiacos can dine overlooking the pitch at a restaurant with an undulating ceiling and a bar made from cooking pots (+ slideshow).
Designed by Greek studio LM Architects, the V'ammos Restaurant is positioned directly above the stands to give diners a panoramic view into the 32,000-seat Karaiskakis Stadium, located in the south-west of Athens. The architects made reference to the stadium's coastal situation by giving the space a wave-like ceiling. "We were inspired by this association and the outcome is the replication of the movement of the sea waves," architects Mariza Angelidi and Lila Galata told Dezeen. "The construction was adapted to hide the structural elements and the electromechanical installations, while at the same time allowing access to these units," they added. Aesop store by March Studio. Melbourne architects March Studio have hung 30 km of coconut-husk string from the ceiling of a new shop in Singapore for Australian skincare brand Aesop.
Designed in collaboration with Aesop director Dennis Paphitis, the interior was inspired by the twine used to tie the company's gift boxes. The design also features cupboards made of marine plywood. See Aesop's London store, designed by Ilse Crawford, in our previous story. Here's some more information from Aesop: In our Singapore store, thirty kilometres of coconut husk string, a regional product, was used to construct a dynamic whole-ceiling light fixture.
