Peacock Dinner Club is the first of a number of new dinner clubs in Sweden, following the concept of a restaurant that develops into a dance club during the evening. OlssonLyckefors Architects used the metaphor of a peacock to translate this idea into an architectural design; just as the peacock spreads its tail feathers, so the space changes without any physical changes taking place. The centrally located bar is laminated in gold, its top reflecting an ellipse of light on the ceiling. LED tubes are concealed in the bar's front along the floor-edge and underneath a rail running along its top. The seating, organized like the tail feathers of a peacock, has been integrated into a slightly elevated podium shaped around the bar. As the night advances the volume of the music rises and soft lighting changes into pulsing bright colours. The lighting walls are made of MDF, perforated according to a fixed pattern and backlit by RGB lights, thus allowing the dynamic colours to change gradually.
