When Lars Snellaars was commissioned to design a restaurant impressed by the Nineteen Twenties simply as we got here out of pandemic lockdown, the connection between what was taking place then (emergence from the Spanish Flu, world warfare and financial downturn) and now, struck him. His seating designs for the challenge had been all richly pigmented velvet, lengthy fringed trim and a gold body, particulars that recalled a carefree heel-clicking, skirt-swishing Charleston dancer. For him it represented a sense of freedom; a name to occasion. ‘The inspiration was dancing people who find themselves celebrating life after this era,’ he says. ‘The body provides flexibility for sitting and chatting to everybody round you in a bar space. The velvet material provides an thrilling feeling along with the gold body in a crossed form that symbolises togetherness.’ The design, which he entitled ReUnited, has now been developed into a group for Dutch design model Satelliet Originals, the brand new customisable furnishings line for hospitality promoting the form of high-quality originality now craved by the restaurant business.
