Bar Alto and Torsten Neeland - A Review

Peter A

Another year of Negronis and funny shaped glassware, but what more did Designmarketo deliver at this year’s pop up shop-bar-exhibition-happening for London Design Festival and did the collaboration with Torsten Neeland work out?

The answer to both questions is a resounding YES. Despite a packed (overwhelming?) schedule for LDF2012, this show crammed in the visitors and provided a little something for everyone.

A drink at the bar? Check.

An interesting collection of re-imagined design classics? Check.

Visitors investigate Torsten Neeland’s product

A new product innovation that is a practical and cost effective edition to the design-conscious home (in Torsten Neeland’s funky cork tray for www.magazin.com)? Check.

And a back room that is part installation / part found object art / part 90s Parisian nightclub rave? Err… Check!
