Project Overview

Lake Geneva (or Lac Léman) is a crescent-shaped lake shared between France and Switzerland, and overlooked by the Alps. On the edge of the lake resides the Hotel de la Paix, an iconic luxury hotel that is part of the Ritz-Carlton group. B3 Designers were assigned to create the restaurant space, Fiskebar, aiming to marry contemporary Nordic design with the simplicity of the dining concept.

Outcome

Textural woods and a dark, moody palette were inspired by the surrounding mountainous landscape, while bespoke ceramic artwork and luxurious brass details are in keeping with the hotel and restaurant’s history. By pairing these together, B3 has achieved a luxurious-yetunderstated project.

How We Helped

The design team approached Woodworks to craft handmade panels for the space, with our perfectly proportioned Jacobin Parquet de Versailles taking pride of place in the attention-commanding landscape. Echoing the warm and atmospheric feel that celebrates the hotel’s architecture, the rich, aged tone of the panels is achieved through applying an organic restoration oil after a long fuming process which deepens the coloring of the wood.
