GOLDBAR

Rosebank, Johannesburg, 210sqm. The design concept for this restaurant-cum-lounge was inspired by Joburg’s roots as a mining town. The bar counter was made to look like a massive embossed ingot. The cloud-white colour scheme and the use of translucent backlit polycarbonate sheeting allude to the proverbial “pot-of-gold at the end of the rainbow”. A modular seating system called Caterpillow TM was custom designed by the architect; the seats are on lockable wheels and the high backrests are removable – it can be configured in multiple arrangements.
