Bar Luce
Fantastical, film director, producer, and screenwriter Wes Anderson brings the corny and the cliché to new heights of divine in the Milanese bar ‘Bar Luce’. As part of the Fondazione Prada in Milan, a cultural centre set in a disused distillery, ‘Bar Luce’s’ mix of nostalgia and caricature with its iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele’s glass roof and retro coffee bar, it is the perfect place to contemplate the past and dream of the future.
Never one to shy from more is more, the graphic detailing, sublime choice of materiality, and intoxicating colour palette with bursts of acid green and marshmallow pink hit the senses like a pop whizz. Creating spaces for all kinds of sociability; Formica furniture form snug booths and window viewing tables, while the hyper activity of pinball machines and jukebox tease from one wall.
