Hard Rock Cafe – Vienna, Austria

The latest Hard Rock Cafe opened its doors in the heart Vienna. The Cafe has so far been roaring success. Set out over two floors the cafe has two bars, the main restaurant and a Rock Shop. The ground floor bar can change colour to suit the various events being held as well as depending on the time of day.

The microphone lights, having been developed by Technical Arts initially for Hard Rock Brussels, have made a re-appearance in Vienna with chandeliers over both the bar and staircase.

The addition of these feature pieces across Europe create a cohesive brand design, tying in Hard Rock’s famed love of music, style and togetherness.

The contemporary interior was designed by Fuse Studios, based in Leeds, UK. Technical Arts have had the privilege of working with Fuse on previous projects such as Hard Rock Brussels amongst others.
