Lève Office Bar in Turin Looks to 1960s Offices
Cantilever chairs, wood panelling and mirror-clad surfaces meet in Lève Office Bar, a Space Age-informed bar in central Turin by Italian architect Fabio Fantolino, which nods to the aesthetics and culture of 1960s workplaces.
The Moonza view
It is telling that a bar draws on 1960s offices; the workplace design of that era, with tubular cantilever chairs, timber panelling and clean lines, has become a classic style.
The cantilever chair, with a continuous tubular frame and no front legs, remains one of the best choices for visitor chairs in executive offices and for meeting rooms: light, elegant and slightly springy to sit on. Timber panelling, done with warm colour and good lighting, makes a meeting room feel refined and improves its acoustics.
- Cantilever chairs are a classic choice for visitor and meeting seating
- Timber panelling adds refinement and better acoustics to meeting rooms
- Mix 1960s style with contemporary details so it does not look dated
