Cocktail Bar Grifoncino

‘Float weightlessly with a glass in your hand as if on a cloud.’

The architect Boris Podrecca describes his concept as follows: ‘Here the feeling of wellbeing does not derive from one’s physical state, but from another dimension, that of visual perception. (...) Guests are suspended, glass in hand, as if on a cloud’.

Light effects and projected images eliminate the separation of floor, walls and ceiling and create a weightless atmosphere: the floor consists of fretwork aluminium sheets, each sandwiched between two glass plates and backlit to surprising effect. The bar counter is a large rectangular glass construct comprising empty bottles and the rear wall is clad with alabaster panels, likewise backlit.
