WeWantMore designs an interior that distorts the senses for Touareg - a Moroccan bar located in Brussels.

Design studio WeWantMore creates an interior that distorts the senses for Touareg - a Moroccan bar located in Brussels. When two brothers from Brussels approached design studio WeWantMore to make their bar an exciting new place, the studio designed an elegant space that feels like a desert hallucination, M.C. Escher lithograph and dreamy trip to Morocco all at once. 

The Moroccan bar is located on the ground floor. The first floor houses the sophisticated cocktail bar Le Fay. For the design of this space, WeWantMore got inspired by Morgan le Fay – the legendary sister of King Arthur and a powerful enchantress and potion maker.

The Touareg design features a revisit of several Moroccan architectural elements. The arches made from chains add a visual surprise and make for a sensual reference to Arabian belly dancers. Traditional Moroccan lights with a smoke pattern add a warm hue to the space, and an Escher- like round mirror and inverted riad on the ceiling intensify the distortion of the senses.

“We wanted to play with the senses of the visitor by designing an upside down riad. A wavy metal ceiling creates the illusion of a floating pool and the reversed arches further magnify the distorted atmosphere.”
