Paracetamol Bar

Designed: S1.DESIGN
Installed: LAM.WEAVINGSPACES
Location: HO CHI MINH CITY. VIETNAM

The strong bonding between chemical elements in the molecular structure of paracetamol, together with the gravitational forces that exist between matter, inspired LAM in developing the structure for the installation at Paracetamol Bar. Reflective metal sheets were used to generate complex light effects while also creating a sense of spatial expansion, enhancing the visual experience of the space. Metal pieces were cut into cubic geometric forms, stacked and rotated in different directions to form a multidimensional surface that reflected light. As a result, the space appeared dynamic and constantly changing as visitors moved through it.

The structure developed from multidirectional connections extending from the edges of hexagonal patterns on flat stainless steel sheets. Logical composition and precise cutting and folding techniques transformed the flat surfaces into a polyhedral spatial structure, with individual components tightly connected to one another. Two large panels were separated and layered above each other, remaining visually connected by slender silk cables. The mirror-finished stainless steel reflected surrounding colors and lighting, while the bar’s illumination produced overlapping light effects and subtle color blends. The shadows of the structure were also carefully considered, adding further vibrancy to the bar space inspired by the atmosphere of a laboratory.
