Vanili Draft:

These aims are convincingly met by this new construction through a conceptual reference to the unusually narrow but elongated, tubular floor space of the bar. The new »Vanilli« has come alive again as a cavernous tunnel whose extensive length guides the flow of guests by itself; like a dynamic system whose two bar areas on either end act as the two points of attraction. 

The guests are drawn towards the bars but free to roam between them, keeping the stream of people in constant motion. The resulting friction that emerges energises the bar, making both the concept and gastronomic experience flourish.

Vanili Implementation:

The tunnel design of the bar is aligned for the flowing motion of the all guests. Two functional elements enclose and emphasise this stream. An organic mirrored wall panel with cushioned and illuminated seating niches is contrasted with the angular steal bar area opposite. Due to numerous mirrors the bar gives the appearance of seeming larger on the one hand, but also has the effect of concentrating the surrounding hustle and bustle. Around one hundred copper sphere lamps provide appropriate lighting in accordance with the concept. 

They offer dimmed lighting from the ceiling to illuminate the nocturnal activity to the right degree. The only additional source of light are LCD screens above the bar on which different visual displays can be shown. Club “Vanilli” offers an enriching  good experience for the european nightlife area of the old town in the warmer months when the shutters are opened into the Hofgasse.
