hypernatural
traveling wine bar
Introduction
Commissioned by a french celebrity vineyard, Hypernatural is a modular, traveling wine bar which draws inspiration from Southern France's film culture and the architecture of vineyards. It uses a lightweight metal frame stucture to define the central bar while filtering light as a reference to the importance of daylight in the production of wine.
The two ends of the barrel vault have been pulled apart, creating two VIP areas which integrate lighting and seating into a single pod. Between the bar and the pods is general seating which spills into the exterior terrace spaces and could be arranged according to the space requirements of the venue.

The challenge was to introduce elements that hint to France & the winemaking process while also making sense to the context of the Aegean.
