Bar Michigan
Contemporary classic
Interior design studio Alfons & Damián have carried out this refurbishment project for Bar Michigan, a neighbourhood bar on the corner of Casanova and Travesera de Gràcia in the Sant Gervais - Galbany neighbourhood of Barcelona. The project involved the enlargement and complete transformation of the interior including bar counter, dining area and kitchen as well as a new façade and street terrace. The designers used dado wood panelling to create a sense of continuity between the different levels (between the main dining area and the bar) while the windows have been replaced with guillotine type frame allowing for a more fluid relationship between the inside and the outside.
At the heart of the design is the new bar counter which anchors the different materials used for the refurbishment. Brightly lit with an overhead glass shelving system for storing glasses the stainless steel counter is supported by a classic diamond pattern reconstituted stone panelling that is also used for the spandrel panel below the exterior glazing. Other materials include a 3D ceramic frieze over the dado panelling, a grey colour porcelain floor tile, upholstered banquette seating and a Alfons & Damián designed marble table.

El estilo es clásico contemporáneo con un aire de moderno Art Decó que se expresa en los motivos geométricos de las ventanas y el revestimiento de piedra del mostrador de la barra y la fachada exterior. El proyecto de iluminación incluye lámparas de pared y una instalación a medida sobre el mostrador de la barra.
