Brôker Bar

The Biggest Lamp in the World

We are trying to define a ceiling out of light. A geometric pattern filled with bulbs. A huge chandelier made of 371 lamps floating over 
the lounge. 
Brôker Bar opened his doors 25 years ago. Since then, they had remain the same. Same look, same furniture, same menu.
With all these other new restaurants popping up around the Azca area in Madrid (the financial center of the city), change was imperative.


This bar, has always been like home for the office workers of the area. Let’s do this. Let’s really turn this place into a home, with a big living room, with an opened kitchen so everyone in the family could see the cook taking dinner out of the oven.
We will use 3 elements: a rug, to define the places to be around; a super-piece-of-furniture to go along the whole place, like an infinite stripe that contains everything (dishes, glasses, forks,...); and of course, an enormous chandelier (5x7m), to light up the main room.
