The brief was to create a new club and multi-use space for the competitive nights of Madrid with an international and powerful identity. Parolio created the concept, branding identity and interior design for the project by merging the added cultural value of an art gallery with the existing and colourful universe of the club scene.

The result is a stimulating mix of streamline interior design, dramatic colour structures and art. All the original furniture designed by Parolio has been treated as sculpted with the use of multiple fabrics creating a “colour block effect” patchwork. In the VIP room the sofas are a continuation of the photographs that form a dramatic back drop. All columns and walls are covered in black glass with geometric shapes.
Photography, video installations, and illustration by the designer and renown artists such as Paco Peregrín, Robert Bartholot and Glenn Hillario are on display in the club making it a complete cultural experience. On the dance floor a floating DJ table is completed by an installation of Acqualed tubes three meters wide and a geometric lamp on the ceiling.

Albertinapassage Design Agency: Sรถhne & Partner Architects
The main challenge at Albertina Passage was to recreate an abandoned pedestrian underpass at the very center of Vienna into a modern dinner club for up to 300 persons. Our target was to design a club that is suitable for an elegant dinner as well as for a big party night. Hence, the design includes live music, a restaurant and a lounge. Our idea was to include these functions in one concept.
The centerpiece of our design is a white sculpture which includes main functions like

The material of our main design object is Corian, one of the most multifunctional materials. A big advantage of this material is that it allowed us to make one whole surface. This can be experienced optically and haptically. Unlike our modern centerpiece we wanted to create a contrast to it when we designed the walls. Hence, we decided to use a warm material in opposition to the Corian. The walls are shaped in a 3-D design which plays with the lights and shadows.
The entrance reminds of the former function of the Albertina Passage. People enter the dinner club just in front of the Vienna State Opera and are guided through stairs and kind of an s-shaped “tunnel” into the main area passing the reception and the cloakroom. The first thing which guests see is again the center with the stage. Our design consists of modern elements combined with classic details. While the sculpture appears very futuristic the design of the dining area is inspired by American bar tradition from the 1950s and 1960s. Role model was Quentin Tarantino’s “Jack Rabbit Slims Twist Contest” from his film “Pulp Fiction”. All in all the Albertina Passage seems to be a place full of inconsistency only at first glance. However, on closer examination its elements assemble as a whole. Albertina Passage is Vienna’s first dinner club. It is a club to be experienced and which is not to be discovered in the first place.
