Frame Magazine posted photos of the new French park-café in Zürich Z Am Park that features classic elements interpreted in a modern way. Well, that is not so new, but what is new here is the approach -
due to the very low budget of the ownersParts of the former flooring, an oak-herringbone-parquet, were used to form the Bar and Couches, all contrasted by the warm grey, monochromatic space. Materials were re-used where possible; old curtains were handpicked for the shifting upholstery, and a modular vintage lamp (by Trix and Robert Haussmann, 1965), was chosen to create a glowing lighting.
'We wanted the interior to keep evolving, so instead of just placing the classic Horgenglarus Bistro-chairs in the space, we asked various artists and designers to each re-work four of them in their own way', says Christian Kaegi Aekae (designer at Ae Kae). These can be seen and used in the café during three months, after which they can be bought at an auction evening. The profit fully goes to the designers.
