Clear routing and a warm, cosy atmosphere where visitors feel at home were the starting points for the design of the foyer and VIP lounge of theatre & congress Orpheus. By merging the two existing bars and positioning the new (25 metres!) long bar centrally in the foyer, a better distribution of visitors over the space is created and the supply and occupancy of the bar has become much more efficient.

Together with the long bar, the gold- and copper-coloured organic chandelier of aluminium links forms the sparkling centrepiece of the foyer. Respecting the building, a design by Herman Hertzberger, the new interior is an atmospheric complement to the architecture. The result: an inviting and welcoming environment for visitors; from small groups to as many as 1,300 people.
