You have probably already held a handle designed by Alexander Lervik. This autumn, you will be dancing on his dance floor.

To ensure that the nightclub opening on Avenyn in September (financed by Stureplansgruppen) becomes Gothenburg's premier venue, designer Alexander Lervik has been hired.

– It is the most spectacular thing I have done so far. The ceiling above the dance floor is shaped like the inside of a globe, and I have worked a lot with plaster stucco, larch wood, and copper. The feel is very modern, he says.

In 2003, he did his first major design job, at the nightclub Sturecompagniet,

and after that there has been a series of exclusive environments for the same client, including the club V with a floor of 50,000 crystals.

– It is details like that which

create talk around town and added value for the club. That is needed to make a nightclub popular, he says.

Club owners with that kind of money are not numerous in Sweden, and the real competition is in New York, Milan, Paris, and Berlin.

– It is about trying to be innovative and daring to experiment. I try to draw inspiration from art and retail stores, rather than other nightclubs.

In October, Alexander Lervik's product design will be shown in an exhibition at Röhsska museet. Attentive observers might recognize the illuminated door handle Brighthandle, which has become popular in restaurants around the country.

FOOTNOTE: The club, which does not yet have a name, will be located wall-to-wall with Nivå on Avenyn.

The world's best-looking nightclubs according to Alexander Lervik:
