An environment consisting of Stone Mimicry, wall embedded Fossil Psychics, wall color scheme, antique glass, and selected artist designed furniture.

The mosaic floor of the Café du Parc is based on paintings by Kerstin Brätsch. Envisaged by the artist as monumental paitings looking towards the sky, the mosaic represents different characters often found in Brätsch‘s oil on mylar paintings. The characters here are enlarged and oversized and translated into mosaic techniques, a unique process and use in the artist’s practice. Paths between the single characters consist of a stucco marmo creature which is turned into a mosaic. Similar motifs continue in the interior space of the Café du Parc, which unify the park and the interior in a spectacular way. The forms are visually powerful and command the views from The Tower to the park.
