Peter Tempelhoff’s latest restaurant and cocktail bar needed a statement piece. Interior design studio MR Design commissioned artist Driaan Klaasen, whose flowing, folding sculptural forms suited the brief exactly.

The bar is built onto a substructure and hand-formed in modified Plaster of Paris that was worked wet, by hand, to Klaasen’s forms. The material takes light beautifully and will develop a bone-like patina as it ages, so the piece keeps changing after it is finished.

Hand-formed and installed by Plaster Art, Cape Town.
