Other Projects by Jean de Lessard
Chez Carl Tapas & BBQ
Montreal, Canada
Inspired by the fractal theory, the designer Jean de Lessard delivers an interpretation of nature’s geometry and its wonderful irregularities with the restaurant Chez Carl Tapas & BBQ. This project reflects the singular (re)structuration process he has developed and which is modulating his interior design practice since. "The variable geometry that was integrated succeeds in breaking the monotony and gives beat to the space, “but it must be powerful enough for the concept to be self-sufficient,” explains the designer of his "programmed chaos.”
The entrance, one of the strongest design elements, is clearly defined by geometric patterns colored in invigorating shades of red and pink. It acts as a bold transition toward a space which the designer has modulated by using three-dimensional steel structures. The depth of the aerial platform anchored to the ground now gives rhythm to the place.
Inside, asymmetrical volumes are covered with materials that are within the same axis, thus bringing increased dynamics to the environment.
This minimalistic project is in continuation of the designer’s thoughts on individuals and society. Hence, variations in floor-to-ceiling heights make it possible for one to never see the space the same way. With its broken lines, the fragmented space thus forms areas with an even more intimate atmosphere, without having to feel isolated. Jean de Lessard is also uses this deflection principle with objects, such as the spectacular cellar (asymmetrical for obvious reasons). It was custom made from copper sheets, a noble metal with a reflective quality of great potential.
To develop a genuine culture of seeing is crucial for Jean de Lessard, for whom space is an object filled with emptiness and fullness and should offer a variety of perspectives. If the eyes of the occupant take a moment to follow one of the axes of the massive bar for example, they will discover one of the three "strucptures" (structure-sculpture). These sculptural walls are as practical as aesthetic; the Danish felt that covers them absorbs decibels and muffles restaurant noise even when filled to full capacity."
Jean de Lessard’s abundant use of maple in this project, outside the scope of usual application, is a wink to Québécois identity … A noble and raw material, wood has both soundproofing and warming qualities. It further enhances the invigorating and bright effect of the color and the softness of finer textiles.
The feminine-masculine duality mimics the two worlds that coexist in the place: that of the regulars and that of the new clientele of young professionals. As a subtle mirror of the exceptional menu of this restaurant, the design must unite the art of seeing and of tasting with simplicity and character.
