the main bar at this year's 100% design london, will be designed by viable london.
this is their first bar design and the resulting structure marries detail with form and will act
as a visual centerpiece for the feature corridor that runs along the length of earls court two.

the bar's design is influenced from the actual materials it is made from.
perspex(a transparent thermoplastic) and aluminum have been combined, defying a conventional
rectilinear approach and instead, constructing a framework with a folded hexagonal structure
and three-dimensional scale-like paneled surface.

several combinations of this honeycomb-like structure are built from a unibox system
of aluminium extrusions and clad in a three-dimensional array of black perspex, stretching 25m
in length. upholstered benches will compliment the angles of the bar's main components,
delineating the flow of the long space whilst providing resting areas.

Imagine building this as a team, on a close to constrution site... who hasn´t had a nervous break down dealing with any do-it-yourself furniture?
The concept though, is academic grade A+, and it suits contemporary ambience, bringing back some 60s déjà vú.
These layouts within modular rithims of acutangles and obtusangles, always give a feel of creativity, fun, sexyness to users. And the designs of bold grids are about glogal design, rather than ethnic, clans.
