FONDAZIONE PRADA RISTORANTE TORRE & BAR LUCE

Housed on the sixth and seventh floor of the new building that is part of the Milan premises of
the Fondazione Prada, designed by Rem Koolhaas with Chris van Duijn and Federico Pompignoli
from Studio OMA. According to Koohaas’ definition, it is “a collage of pre-existent
themes and elements” that combines works of art with design furniture. It occupies a surface
area of 215 m² divided into two areas: the bar and the restaurant. Both are characterised by
the contrast between the large, floor-to-ceiling windows and the warm hues of the parquet
floor, the walnut boiserie and the hemp panels covering the walls. The bar has a central
counter, with a suspended cellar containing international spirits and liqueurs, and where it
is possible to enjoy a cocktail or a light dinner. The outdoor, triangular terrace looks down
onto the urban space and is paved in porphyry stone and metal grilles, that are characteristic
of the outdoor areas of the Fondazione Prada.
