Jetlag wine bar

Czech studio Mimosa architekti designed a tea and wine bar in Prague visually divided into “time zones” represented through an intricated stainless steel layout.  

Jetlag is a small bar in the centre of Prague designed by Mimosa architekti, which offers tea and wine but also coffee from all over the world. The space concept deals with travelling through different time zones. One can ‘fly’ through the entire world along the length of the bar (15 metres).

  The spatial solution consists in cutting the space into time zones. The curvature of real time zones is translated in the bar morphology. The shaping of curves defines the bar itself, the wine and tea shelves, light fixtures and benches. The space is intentionally unclear, as if blurred. Stainless steel was chosen as the basic material: the shiny metal associates both the fuselages with riveted sheet metals and the stainless vessels of today’s wineries.
