THE CHAMPAGNE BAR

Telmont

The Telmont Champagne Bar was designed as a topographic installation to call to mind the terroir on which Maison Telmont is located. The green and natural color hues of the bar celebrated the organic and sustainable spirit of the Telmont soil. It showcased a structure made out of soil and straw using a Tsuchikabe technique, and mimicked the contour lines of the Champagne territory. The lighting system behind the Telmont Bar was powered by two swings that act as energy generators, delivering a design solution that combines playfulness with sustainability. Furthermore, every plank of wood at the bar was sustainably sourced—their origin traceable through Rebuilding Center Japan, a recycle center for building materials obtained from house demolition.
