Outspoken Interior at Bar Ramona in Amsterdam

Quirky Sustainability

The vibrant Bar Ramona is located on the corner of a quiet canal street and De Clercqstraat in Amsterdam.

Designed by Studio Modijefsky, the interior of this space references the tradition of classic bars with dark wood, stained glass, protective wall panelling and mirror finishes; all reinvented with a much younger attitude.

Ramona’s interior is divided into four distinct areas: the welcoming bar, a bright eating area, a separate lounge area and the bright orange kitchen.

Features of the existing architecture have been embraced, adding a quirky edge to the new design.

Contrast & Layers

The geometrical pattern found in the original stained-glass top windows has been used as inspiration for the sculptural shape of the bar, built out of beige Travertine block, white terrazzo tiles and different coloured bricks (Nougat and Salt+Pepper WasteBasedBricks® by FRONT®).

Contrasting textures are boldly layered on top of one another like the wall menu written on orange glass and set against yellow linoleum panels.

The scale and size of finishes changes between different zones, with gradually smaller patterns leading customers throughout the space.
