Pratersauna Bar
Eine Bar aus Beton für die neue club-und artspace location im grünen Prater von Wien. Der Betonklotz inmitten der illustrierten Toiletten, Graffitis und bunten LEDs wirkt als wäre er schon immer da gewesen. Das Gewicht von 1 Tonne sorgt dafür, dass es auch noch länger so bleibt.
Die Oberfläche zollt dem alten Terrazzo Tribut, darüber hängen klimapolitisch provokant aber besonders augenfreundliche Glühbirnen, die damals 2009 ein Revival einläuteten. Eingerahmt von einer, nur analog beschriftbaren, schwarzen Tafel. Lichterloh läßt die Bar in der passenden Event-Farbe erstrahlen.

Franz Kafka Kierling - Memorial Room
The exhibition rooms in the house, where Franz Kafka died in 1924 received a major makeover. All walls were redesigned and partially exposed to its bare bricks. The exhibition features various large scale photographs, replicas, a library, seating capacity for events and plenty of quotes. The notepads that Kafka used to communicate due his inability to speak were collected in a chandelier.
