The Sailbar was done for a music festival in the Pratersauna club in Vienna. With a budget that was very small and wood given as the material, an outside bar had to be constructed. Covered with two canopies, it is meant to serve as protection from the sun and possible rain following the playful idea of the dynamics of sails. The furniture consists of boxes that can easily be replaced or adjusted. The simplicity should be seen as an advantage in construction and maintenance. In order not to be too ordinary the panels on the boxes follow the outlines of the roofs of the bar. The roof of the bar is made out of beams that are connecting two opposite triangles. The joints are made on the overlaps.
The lower structure of the bar as well as the furniture is made of wooden panels with lighting from inside.
