Water Bar
The waterfall was created by a group of men for a public display in the heart of Tokyo in 2006. The architecture was designed by Tadao Ando and the “waterfall” optical glass bar was designed by Tokujin Yoshioka and installation was performed by Olafur Eliasson. Together, this group of men created what appears to be a bar made from water. Using an optical glass block, the same material used in larger observatory telescopes, is crafted using unique techniques that creates the illusion of a “waterfall” while the light reflects off of the glass.
Designer: Tokujin Yoshioka

So basically it’s a big hunk of imperfect glass that weighs how much? A couple of tonnes maybe? Fine, don’t put it in an upstairs room.
Where are the beer taps/pumps going to fit? Where’s the foot rail to put my foot on whilst I’m waiting to get served. Cover the top in drip trays/bar towels, Napkin/straw holders. Stuff that a bar needs. Show us that picture.
Have “this group of men” ever drunk in a bar before? (The curved front edge looks rubbish for leaning on)
More importantly, have they ever worked behind a bar before?
cha0tic says
Oh yeah. The curve means that any (inevitable) Spilled drink flows over and drips off the front onto the customers knees.
This gets worse the more I think about it.
