Orient Express unveiled the decor of the future Bar-Car by architect Maxime d’Angeac, who has worked on restoration and decoration projects for luxury houses such as Daum, Hermès, and Guerlain for the past 20 years. 

The bar area features a glass counter and an ideal tribute to René Lalique. At each table, a clock rings for cocktail and dinner times. A call button is reserved for the champagne service. Another for the staff.

Maxime d’Angeac reinterprets the “rail” motif created by Suzanne Lalique-Haviland in the 1930s, which has been reworked on the partitions using the stoneboard technique. Under a mirrored ceiling, crossed by a series of arches, tables and wrap-around armchairs line up, lit by lampshades revisiting the original models.

Everywhere, the corners are rounded, the partitions are covered with precious wood and leather, the headboards are embroidered with wood, mother of pearl, and bronze. In a niche, the famous Lalique “Blackbirds & Grapes” panels, originating from the historic train, are displayed. At the time of the “Great Transformation”, the large sofas are revealed in the comfort of a large bed. A bathroom and dressing room complete the ingenious layout.
