Seven wine bars: Quick notes

Sipping on a red or white wine is made all the better by these wine bars from Canada to Kazakhstan, which are clad in zinc, marble, and reclaimed materials, as seen in our latest lookbook.

Natural and orange wine have seen a surge in popularity in recent years, and the design industry has matched its pace with a new wine bar popping up here, there and everywhere across major cities.

The seven wine bars below showcase some of these unique interiors found across cities including New York City, Montreal and Marseille, where everyone from casual enthusiasts to aficionados can enjoy a glass.

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring shoji screens, home saunas and minimalist living rooms.

Dévo, French, by Axel and Mélissa Chay 

Located in Marseille, Dévo is a restaurant and bar informed by the “instinctive, generous and deeply rooted” reputation of the French city, according to husband-and-wife design duo Axel and Mélissa Chay.

The pair pulled in references to 1970s Italian bars as well, outfitting the interior with geometric lines and sleek surfaces.

Stars, USA, by Studio Valle de Valle

Studio Valle de Valle employed a zinc-covered bar, cedar panelling, custom furniture and a sandy matte red marble floor to outfit Stars in the East Village, a single-room wine bar.

“The zinc is almost buttery and malleable, the fusion red marble is so much more subtle than the name implies, and the Valle stools bring them both together; the world between grey and red may really be yellow,” Studio Valle de Valle co-founder Chase Sinzer told Dezeen.

With Others, USA, by Studio Ahead

San Francisco studio Studio Ahead used taupe walls, walnut banquettes and metal mesh shelving to create a soft-industrial feel for this Williamsburg wine bar.

Owner Shanna Nasiri tapped the studio to create a “neighbourhood bar” that would evoke the creative spirit of Williamsburg in the late 1990s and early 2000s, before the neighbourhood became populated with the luxury brands and developments of today.
