Architect lines walls with carpets

A new bar in Warsaw has carpets hung on the walls as part of its luxury style.

When architect Kacper Gronkiewicz was asked to design the new Aura cocktail bar in Warsaw, he decided to use Morcooan carpets in an unusual way. Instead of placing them on the floor, he hung them on the walls.

The bar is in a 19th-century house and the design brief was to create a luxury space. In order to create the illusion of expensive gold, several polished brass fixtures were installed, including brass shelves, tables and light fittings, with the top of the bar also being made from brass.

Gronkiewicz loves traditional Moroccan design, so purchased several traditional Moroccan carpets in red hues. The hard surface floor is also red to complement the carpets. The decor of the bar is a luxury style that reflects traditional design values. There is a trend in Warsaw for bars that feature bold and vibrant designs.

Another unusual feature of the bar is the round tables which are supported with a single leg that is slotted into the floor and can be placed at various heights. During the day, the bar is a cafe with low tables, and in the evening the tables are high with people sitting on bar stools.

Many people in Chester like carpets with bold patterns. A well as covering the floor, a rug or carpet hung on the wall is a design idea if you want something different without the need for regular vacuuming.
