A nice brake -cool beer and design was offered at the ICFF Bar designed by students Alfred Zollinger's classes in the Architecture, Interior Design, and Lighting Design department at Parsons. Four-inch-wide industrial straps - all the same length -wrapped repeatedly throughout the 96-foot-long space. Stapled along the ceiling and floor, the black ribbons form a loose enclosure on two sides of the booth. Inside, they are also fastened to the furniture. The overall feel is something of a hangover without the headache!
