PAPER BAR by Fyras

The Paper Bar by Helsinki-based design studio Fyra highlights paper’s versatility as a crucial material in architecture, fashion, writing, and music. According to Fyra, the bar captures the moment just before creation – “a blank canvas, where ideas begin to take shape. Paper Bar becomes a place of pure potential that invites visitors to connect and visualise.”

Designed with innovative and resource-conscious use of existing materials, the bar doubles as a stage for the fair’s program of talks. Astrid‘s textiles define the area, fostering a warm and welcoming ambiance. Paper Bar features seats by Vaarnii and Artek. Ege‘s CircleBack rug unifies the space and showcases innovative material reuse.

Form meets function at the En Bar Bara – A Bar Only in Swedish – by All Matters Studio at Greenhouse, the fair’s platform for emerging talents. “We prefer simplicity in our design language and let the materials speak for themselves,” says Fredrik Widén, co-founder of All Matters Studio.

“From the beginning, we knew we wanted to create a special edition of our Frame_05 table, a six-meter-long centrepiece in aluminium profiles and natural stone. We also wanted to include our Pinne_04 chair, with its simple shapes, as a guest at the bar.”
