In the mood - form for an attitude to life
A bar is always an expression of an attitude towards life. Whether it is the spectacular 1940s jazz bars in Paris or today's artfully staged cocktail bars in Milan and New York, these bars always have something mystical about them. They are both an expression of urbane culture as well as centres of communication. The design of the JustinCase takes up the mysticism of a bar and translates it into a portable bar system for trade fairs and other venues. The Viennese designer René Chavanne, thus, lent this mobile bar a clear aesthetics of almost futuristic appeal. The bar thematically takes up the suitcase as a metaphor for mobility and as a symbol merges it with the requirements of a bar into a single functional unit. Thus, the high-quality materials, the craftsmanship and the styling consciously recall the design of flight cases. JustinCase can be quickly disassembled and weighing in at only 27kg it is easily transported in an elevator or a passenger car. With its modular system of construction, the bar is ready for use on-site with little manual setup and without the need of tools. The bar can be extended by further units, since bars have to vary in size, and events also require different arrangements. A functional aspect of its portability is that the necessary elements for operating the bar, such as power sockets, switches and electric cables, are already integrated. In order to use the mobile bar as a music desk, the concept includes a built-in DJ console. JustinCase is an all-purpose system that integrates both a wide range of application set-ups as well as branding possibilities for companies and sponsors.
