| Raising the bar: new hospitality design | | | Photo: Anson Smart Adaptive reuse projects may come with their own set of challenges, but, thoughtfully approached, they allow architects and designers to capitalise on a space’s pre-existing charms while breathing new life and purpose into it – as here, in our survey of new bar projects.

Dutch masters
The best furniture offers its owner something beyond utility – qualities that go beyond practical function. It is something to be used, yes, but also, like a piece of art, for example, to be enjoyed. For Dutch brand Jess, this quality is found in the passion with which its furniture is conceived and created, a passion clearly seen in the distinctive shapes, colours and craftsmanship of its handmade collections – including the Sanne dining chair.
Sanne’s inviting form is matched by the comfort of its cold-foam-filled seat and sloping backrest in high-quality leather. The chair’s coarse stitching also gives it a robust feel. And in offering Sanne in a variety of colours, bases and variations, Jess lets its customers contribute to the creation of their very own work of art.
