De Vinos y Viandas - Javier Guzmán Benito

Valladolid, Spain

The goal was to abstract the formal wine world, so the space is created as a continuous formal changer only using pure shapes such as the circumference. The juxtaposition of several circumferences in both directions creates a space where the required situations appear organically, such as the counter, tasting table, and exhibition-sale space.

The project is very formal interactive for several reasons. First, due to its formal leitmotiv, which is the circumference shape and the ribs. Second, the mirror reflections create a curious blurry image that works coherently with the concept. Finally, the furniture is also interactive.

There are three materials: wood for the ribs system as the barrels, stone for the floor as the antique cellars, and the mirror material, which generates amplitude and an atmospheric world of reflections where those circumferences seem to contain liquid.
