Bar Design : The El Tubo Bar, Lima - Peru

This stunning modern bar was designed by Felipe Assadi and Franciesca

Pulido and is located in Lima, Peru. The El Tubo Bar features a number

of unique and totally unconventional elements that really make it stand out.
The space which had to be used for the construction of the bar was two rooms

of the second level of one of the pavilions of the palace. Rest of the building

is part of the city of Lima cultural heritage. These two spaces live together within

an independent and self-referring element. A tube. The tube was drilled on the

middle part of one of its walls and the middle of its ceilling generating from these

holes the single blue-violet light entrance to the space. This highlights the idea

that this elements floats inside the building. Inside this tube, a long futuristic bar

arranged the space making the concept looking like a single element.

The space near by the bar was arranged with five sculptures

and huge frame pictures. The furniture which is located in the ‘hot tube’

were created under the concept of a membrance that runs along its backing

structure, consistent with the lightness idea. All the furniture,

dishes, everything in this bar was designed following a very abstract

and neutral aesthetic.
