Ravel
26 July 2010
The exceptional and creative restaurant Atea of Bilbao has been the innovating framework where the Samen Group has introduced the new flower planter Ravel. Placed on the façade of Daniel García’s amazing restaurant, the flower planter Ravel is an entrance hallmark to a different space, where tables and experiences are shared with known and unknown people. Aiming at a sensible and reasonable cuisine in constant evolution, the Atea restaurant has achieved a very prominent position in the gastronomic offer of Bilbao.
The flower planter designed by ADN DESIGN is named after Joseph Maurice Ravel, French composer who excelled by revealing «the most subtle games of intelligence and the most hidden outpourings of the heart» (Le Robert).
Indeed, as Carlos Alonso Pascual said, «the flower planter is inspired in the rhythm and tempo of the famous Bolero, a true masterpiece that symbolizes Ravel’s concern for redesign and reinvention of dance movements. The contrast between the stubborn foreshortening of the planter’s surfaces and the careful proportions of its horizontal bands creates the tension necessary to turn this simple and categorical flower planter into a clever tribute to one of the most performed compositions worldwide.»
Ravel had in mind the staging of the Bolero ballet in an outdoor space, with a factory in the background, reflecting the mechanical nature of the piece. The location of the Ravel flower planter in the angle of the old Depósito Franco [Customs Warehouse] on the Uribitarte pier, in the heart itself of the renowned transformation the Villa is experiencing, is a good choice and it represents the ideal framework of this sophisticated piece.
