Just step into the freshly renovated oriental and lounge atmosphere in the Buddha Bar Paris

 

---

Indeed, this atypical space reveals here and there, meticulously sourced collectibles, issued from distant ethnic groups, from all over the Orient, particularly from China and Japan.

 

 

For example, those elegant decorative elements are notably made of vintage Chinese wallpapers, depicting exotic birds, but also hanging birdcages, and even multicolored tropical flowers from Indochina. Adding to this, a set of digital artworks would kindly accompany you while climbing up the stairs, reaching the stunning mezzanine, whose wooden arches, radiate remarkable lights, thanks to the golden copper patina designed by artist Eva Maria Kim.

On top of that, you couldn’t pass through the no less elegant alcoves, highlighting this large mezzanine, offering a breathtaking panorama over this iconic golden Buddha.

 

By the way, in this large and multicultural mezzanine, you could find three moods, conveyed by this Indochina lounge, extending over the entire length of this long zone, on either side of the reception and the grand staircase. This unique area is furnished by hanging benches and even a traditional opium bed, somehow recalling the sulfurous bygone traditions from this part of the World.

Apart from this, an other Japanese lounge stands on the extreme wings of the mezzanine. This unmissable universe was transformed into a sort of Japanese boudoir, whose decoration wallpaper evokes the true Japanese spirit of minimalism. 

 

At last, you could also count on a Shanghai bar, stretching along an incredible resin bar, representing a very long dragon of 18 meters long (photo credits: Romeo Balancourt – Photographe).

Also completely renovated and refurnished with golden leather tools, this magnificent sculpted masterpiece displays generous curves, and thus represents an other central element but this time. Deeply inspired by the Shanghai mood from the 1930s, this redesigned space also offers a direct view over the majestic sculpture of this seated Buddha, of 4 meters high, which has also been completely renovated and sublimated by its original artist Bruno Tanquerel, thanks to leaf gold and pink copper.

 

This massive piece of art faces another intimate and tempting novelty, located under the mezzanine, called La salle du Dragon Royal. This beautiful golden room, overlooked by gigantic arabesque chandeliers, along red velvet embroidered with golden threads. Once again, their ocher, red and golden wall patinas have as well been restored as well as all some exotic wooden floors, by employing some aged patina of deep royal blue and golden leaf. This material has precisely selected to match the chromatics of the ceiling, on which rests a sumptuous dragon, which seems to watch over the space. Plus, the ancient curtains would soon be replaced by graceful sliding shutters to partition those distinct spaces.

 

In fact, behind this genuine invitation to travel between typical colonial and baroque styles from Eastern and Southeastern Asia, any guest must be marveled, especially through this totally original experience, in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Paris. 

Therefore, transported in a constant motion, cradled by an intimate play of lights, you may undoubtedly forget the exterior urban throng, notably thanks to the Buddha Bar‘s cult musical signature. Then, the globally acclaimed musical identity, especially enhanced by the house DJ Ravin, is characterized by an avant-garde and exotic style.
