06 Juni Swiss Re Next, Zürich
Floating just above floor level and seemingly defying the laws of gravity, the visibly heavy bar also has a shimmering and airy quality thanks to it´s polished surface. In formal terms, it responds to a similar kitchen element at the Pavillon Le Corbusier on the opposite bank of Lake Zurich. The walls and the furniture, the art and the architecture answer and reinforce one another – a Gesamtkunstwerk in which the dividing lines between applied and fine art, between sculpture and furniture making are blurred beyond recognition.
