As part of the interior design project carried out by El Equipo Creativo for the Kimpton Vividora Hotel in Barcelona, we saw the result of the hotel design in this post, and later the one carried out in the Fauna Restaurant, located on the first floor. Today we bring you the third and last project that the studio carried out at the Kimpton Vividora, it is Café Got. The studio explains ud the developement,
We soon understood that the space of the bar-located in the lower level of Hotel Kimpton Vividora, and with a long façade facing the street- should be part of the neighbourhood, acting as a connection between the city and the Hotel.
Ciutat Vella, and more specifically the Gothic Quarter and its street atmosphere, became one of the main inspirations for the design, where little narrow streets lead you to unexpected plazas, patios and entrances to residential buildings.
Stone, greenery and water are the essential ingredients of these fresh oases in the city, and we decided to introduce these same ingredients in the design of the bar.
A double-height space with a cascade of glass lamps connects with the lobby area on the first level bringing a fresh and watery effect to the project. On the lower level, a comfortable lounge sitting-area, close to the façade and visible from the street, invites guests and locals to enter and relax.
Different and carefully selected pieces of furniture, with an emphasis on local brands and designers, give it a casual, inviting atmosphere with a local flair.
Green custom-designed ceramic tiles with geometric patterns, inspired by Barcelona's broad ceramic craftmanship tradition, are applied to walls and dividers, which, together with natural plants, bring the green touch to the space. Patterns jump to other surfaces, like the golden dividers and ceiling elements.
As a discreet protagonist, the bar element sits at the back, like an elegant bright stone block in contrast with the travertine floors.
Terracotta carpets and walls together with reddish wooden finishes give the warm contrast.
