Lan, Beijing
"We made this restaurant, the Lan, which has become, I am sorry to say, the center of Beijing: a staggering place of almost 7,000 square meters where I drew it, lost myself.
It is a kind of labyrinth where each object has been imported from France. There are thousands of references.
I also worked with a large power company for an exhibition on new energies at the Olympic Games. There is a "wind organ" installed in the city. At the bottom, a keyboard controls organ whistles on the blades. We can say that you play the wind! On the other side, another keyboard animates diodes to make drawings in the air. Ecology is not necessarily sad." Philippe Starck.
