Discover Baccarat's World at the Newly Opened B bar Marunouchi

Immerse Yourself in Baccarat's Elegance at B bar Marunouchi

B bar Marunouchi has recently reopened its doors, inviting patrons to experience the enchanting world of Baccarat like never before. Operated by GARDE, a renowned interior design and consulting firm based in Tokyo, this bar promises a unique blend of tradition and modernity, all set within an elegantly curated space. The bar's interior is meticulously designed to reflect Baccarat’s luxury and sophistication.

Design Concept: Embracing Baccarat's Aesthetic

The overarching theme of B bar Marunouchi is to captivate guests with the sheer elegance and charm of Baccarat. With the finest materials and Baccarat’s signature glassware, this bar offers an exquisite selection of drinks and culinary delights. The design pays homage to the original B bar concept, conceived in 2003, while infusing it with a fresh, contemporary vibe. An extensive collaboration with Baccarat ensured that the project captured the essence of both tradition and innovation.

Point 1: Passionate Accents in Sophisticated Space

The first standout feature of B bar Marunouchi is the strategic use of red, Baccarat's iconic color, which provides passionate accents against the dimly lit backdrop of the bar. This elegant atmosphere is punctuated by a 'Baccarat Wall' adorned with countless Baccarat glass pieces, where a single red glass serves as a striking focal point in an otherwise dark and sophisticated environment. The juxtaposition of modern design elements with classic wooden furnishings, such as the Iwayado chest and the imposing bar counter made from solid wood, adds a warm touch to this chic setting.

Point 2: Aesthetic Pleasures in Design

Baccarat’s renowned candelabra, the 'Tsarine,' and its iconic glassware are thoughtfully displayed to draw attention, while two stunning chandeliers ensure a visual feast from various angles. Innovative magic mirrors create an illusion that alters the perspectives for guests entering and those seated inside. This layered design strategy immerses visitors in Baccarat's world from the moment they step through the entrance, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience.

Point 3: Cultural and Historical Narratives

Beyond its stunning decor, B bar Marunouchi also tells a story rooted in history and craftsmanship. The bold presence of the Baccarat logo and the B bar's metal signage throughout the space reassures returning fans while welcoming newcomers with a sense of pride in the brand’s heritage. Additionally, a corridor leading to the restrooms is adorned with framed photographs depicting the artisans and processes from Baccarat village in France, providing guests with insight into the rich cultural backdrop behind the brand.

A Space Designed for Functionality

B bar Marunouchi brilliantly balances its elegant design with functional requirements. It features a robust bar counter and three private spaces, allowing for flexible accommodations for larger groups or intimate visits. The highlight is a private room where a floating wall lamp creates an impressive and innovative atmosphere.

Designer's Insight

Manato Kiriya, the designer for this project, aims to evoke a sense of immersion within Baccarat's world through a seamless design concept. After extensive consultations with Baccarat, Kiriya infused the design elements with a narrative that reflects the brand's dedication to excellence. Guests are invited to enjoy a drink from an extensive selection of over 200 types of Baccarat glassware, exploring the stories behind each piece and discovering the artistry that makes Baccarat unique.

This new B bar Marunouchi promises to deliver a distinctive experience for both first-time visitors and those familiar with its predecessor, creating a space where luxury meets storytelling in every sip.
