“A space of brightness, radiating, reflecting, the port, the boats, absorbing the sun, the light”, such is the inspiration behind Christophe Pillet’s redesigning of the Bar du Port in Saint Tropez.
Created in 2001, the Bar du Port has been entirely remodeled for 2008, giving center stage to the interplay of mirrors, shadows, and treating light itself as an element of decor.
Glass, smoked mirrors, white stone and white furnishings, create a dazzling ambiance that subtly changes as the hours pass, as LED screens diffuse different colored light effects.
Renowned designer Christophe Pillet ‘shed’ new light on the Bar du Port in Saint Tropez with an entire makeover of this chill-out nook, a playground for Parisian fashionistas, which first opened in 2001.
In his own words, Pillet wanted to “create a space of brightness, radiating, reflecting, the port, the boats, absorbing the sun and the light”. These images are played out through the bar’s extensive installation of glass and smoked mirrors, which allows LED lights to dance and morph into various shapes on its surfaces.
The lights change color over the course of the day, evoking different sets of moods. The white stone and white furnishings are excellent light reflectors, extending the performance arena of the “dancing lights”.
This is a Bar makeover. Look wonderful, the efforts can genuinely be witnessed. Renowned designer Christophe Pillet has created this masterpiece Bar, which allows space for brightness, radiating, reflecting, the port, the boats, absorbing the sun and the light. It makes use of images through the bar’s extensive installation of glass and smoked mirrors, which allows LED lights to dance and morph into various shapes on its surfaces. The best part is to gaze when the lights change color over the course of the day, evoking different sets of moods.
