The Starck-aissance continues apace with a striking, rather surreal structure in the hills of Andalusia. Commissioned by the LA Organic olive oil mill, French super-designer Philippe Starck devised a monolithic block the colour of fired clay to house—and bring attention to—a production facility, restaurant, and museum called LA Almazara. He appended it with symbols of southern Spain, including a giant carved eye and a Corten steel bull’s horn that reference 20th-century artists like Dalí and Picasso.

There’s also a massive olive-shaped projection on the side of the building, which sits on a 25-hectare olive estate overlooking the mountaintop town of Ronda.

Although he never truly went away, Starck has shifted from the plastic-fantastic looks he’s known for into a more artful and dramatic phase. He’s designed LA Almazara’s interior as an ‘inhabitable work of art’ with more surreal, oversized appendages cutting through the soaring, dimly lit spaces. Restaurant seating is overlooked by a giant suspended funnel, a horn-like cornucopia and a rather intimidating sword, as well as a vast ceiling fresco.

Heavy chains hanging from the walls are overhang from the cantilevered terraces outside, ostensibly suspended from the same iron links. It all provides an experience the company hopes will help boost oleo tourism in the region.
