BAR BASQUE/FOODPARC At Bar Basque, translucent red resin panels backlit with T8 fl u orescents form a “fuselage” interior. Custom MR16 downlights integrated into the fi b erglass ceiling recreate the random patterns in Mead’s sketches.

Best known for the conceptual design of movies like Blade Runner, Alien and Tron, “visual futurist” Syd Mead has brought his big-screen visions to the real world at two new restaurants in New York City’s Eventi hotel. In fact, Mead referred to one of the concepts as the “set for a movie that will never be made.” His first permanent architectural projects, Bar Basque and FoodParc both exhibit Mead’s signature space-age style, but each is executed differently. Bar Basque, a Spanish fine-dining restaurant on the second floor of the hotel, has dramatic, fiery red interiors that complement www.ies.org LD+A | May 2011 63
