Restaurant CROMA BY FLASH | Llamazares Pomés Arquitectura

 
Is it possible to design another Flash Flash restaurant fifty years later?
 
Yes, it is. The Croma by Flash restaurant project, designed by the architect Iván Pomés (Llamazares Pomés Arquitectura), was born out of the great respect and admiration he has for Flash Flash, one of the most emblematic and innovative projects of the architects Federico Correa and Alfonso Milá.
Correa and Milá, together with Leopoldo Pomés, helped to transform the grey Barcelona of post-war into a modern one.
 
Despite the use of the iconic Pop image (the girl photographer who illuminates the restaurant with her flash) the result is not a copy, it is not a clone, but a new and totally different restaurant.

If the Flash Flash was a radical design in black and white, eliminating even the gray scale, in the Croma by Flash restaurant the gray scale is very important, along with the daring appearance of the yellow color -belonging to the traditional Kodak photo film package-. Furthermore, as a tribute to the 60s, in the bathroom you can find a typical color range: violet, green, orange, red and gray-blue.
