Opened in 2021 in East London, Shapes Bar innovatively blends cocktail culture with Bauhaus design principles. Founded by Paul Lougrat and Remy Savage, Shapes challenges traditional bar norms by prioritizing functionality, minimalism, and consistency. Cocktails are pre-batched and enhanced through distillations of fruits and herbs for quality, along with handmade ice for perfect presentation. Savage emphasizes the bar's commitment to artistic ambition, answering key Bauhaus questions about beauty and form, making Shapes a unique fixture in the London cocktail scene.
"We pride ourselves on being completely coherent with a particular artistic ambition," he says, emphasizing Shapes' commitment to Bauhaus principles in every aspect of the bar.
Savage explains that their goal is to answer the Bauhaus question: "How can we manifest beauty at scale?" Through functional design and perfect consistency in cocktails.
"Everything that takes a long time has already been made," Savage insists, highlighting the bar's pre-batched and individually bottled cocktails for quality and speed.
Shapes embodies a revolutionary approach to cocktail making, where every element serves a distinct purpose, rooted in the radical simplicity of the Bauhaus philosophy.
