Viennese cuisine with an Oriental touch.
French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean Philippe Vassal, whose philosophy of building is based on the intelligent use of low-cost materials, were responsible for the design and execution of the Az W Café Restaurant Corbaci. The pattern of the ceiling tiles was designed especially for this space by Turkish artist Asiye Kolbai-Kafalier in collaboration with the architects and was produced in Istanbul.
“We had this idea of a Turkish café in which you can sit very comfortably and chat for hours. We were confronted with a brick vault and the project idea was simply to hang a ‘firmament’ in this space. This firmament was made in ceramic, with Oriental tiles.” (Anne Lacaton)
