oooohoho, I’m a spanish woman that likes design, not an expert, but I think it’s an amazing work of symmetry with previous classical design (www.casinodemadrid.es).

It is as if the baryta of a magician had touched each one of the corners and objects that already existed in the restaurant (doors, columns, tables, chairs, mirrors…) to transform them into something surprising, present and completely unreal. It would enchant to me to be able to eat within that palace of dream. Maybe during my next weekend in Madrid…

Yes, it’s more than a theatre, it’s like a paradise… imaging the multiplication of emotions when mixing two great pleasures: : good food and design

By the way, to use new materials does not mean a lack of quality…

It is certain that the impression that the spectacular finished of this restaurant cause to me can not please within a time… but nowadays I either do not like to be surrounded by chairs Luis XVI… and however I can continue admiring the design…

(sorry, because my english)

uhm hellooooo…. design is an impetus for buy buy buy. not good design my ass. let’s consider the clients- probably really boring and vapid anyway…. at least there is a ying and yang. this place has the best feng shui.

Mitch , i agree .

a restaurant or abar , is about creating an atmosphere – whatever it is – not about political correctness, or even taste ( although that ’s an option ) .

this place is like a ” comic theatre ” :
how can you not smile and feel like having a good time when you see this ?
thumbs up for jaimie .. the king of fun ..

To me this looks like a “wacky” rehashed Starck hotel, but nowhere near as well executed.

I agree with JQL in regards to fashion, its just a hyped up, emphemeral project to be consumed whilst still hot.

I don’t think these designs are “like fashion: use it now, throw away later.” Art nouveau wasn’t like this. I don’t see any problems connected to ornament. It is one of the pleasures in life. The connection back to human emotions makes the design brilliant. And the fixtures in the restaurant do not appear to be made so that they could be thrown away later. Anyway, sustainable design sucks cuz most times it’s ugly.

Yes it is “dramatic, flamboyant, outrageous, and guaranteed to get the public in the door to spend money”. Yet it is not good design. Well at least not in my opinion. And I’m not talking about a matter of taste as I tend to like classical transfigution. I’m talking about a whole sense of fakeness that annoys me though you may say its brilliant. It’s like the interiors of that seven star hotel in Dubai. Probably it’s my problem and I will think on this a bit more. Even if the design doesn’t affect me in a positive way this forum and your opinion makes me think about the objective of design nowadays. Probably its becoming like fashion: use it now, throw away later. It’s not as I like to view it.

He made the same thing in the Camper store. Will he go on and on?
