Interior Skeletal Chic

I'm thinking of redecorating the Dogg Cave, and this designer is my first choice:




So cozy and dark and inviting...






These are all promotion stills from HR Giger Bar in Château St. Germain, Gruyères, Switzerland.

For those of you who do not recognize the style, think lots of pointy teeth, acidic blood, and 6 major motion pictures:

"Giger’s third and most famous book, Necronomicon, published in 1977, served as the visual inspiration for director Ridley Scott’s film Alien, Giger's first film assignment, which earned him the 1980 Oscar for the Best Achievement in Visual Effects for his designs of the film's title character and the stages of its lifecycle, plus the film’s the otherworldly environments. Giger's other film works include Poltergeist II, Alien3 and Species."

The bar is not open late, which is a bummer because this could be the most enticing Darkwave/Goth club decor in the history of human kind.

If you get the chance to visit, please let me know if the food and service match the ambiance.

Just watch out for the hostess: she's a real bitch....





(Thanks, yet again, to Puppy for the 'heads up'.)

This is bad ass. I've known about it for a while now, you know if you go to HR Gigers website (he's one of my absolute favorite artists) you can buy some of the furnature.
