The river "Maas" flows through the city of Maastricht, dividing it into two halves. It separates but equally connects. In its passage it reflects the city and the sky above it. These characteristics — the contradiction in separating, connecting and mirroring — form the base for the concept, layout and brand identity of the new Bar Bistro at MECC Maastricht.
This idea, along with other characteristic elements of Maastricht, has been subtly translated into the interior design and branding. The layout and division of space mirror the Maas. A central, broad gesture distinguishes itself through the use of materials, colors and height differences within the center of the space and connects various facets and functions with each other. This central element contains all the core functions such as the open kitchen, stairs to the second floor, bar and stage.

Even the arches of the Sint Servaas bridge were the inspiration for the design of the table legs.

We incorporated with subtle elements related to the Maas and the city of Maastricht. On the ceiling we placed different 'mirrored discs' that symbolise the reflection of the water.
Some of these discs rotate slowly indicating the movement of the water and therefore creating a subtle reflection within the bistro.

Not every visitor, who visits the MECC because of an international congress, has time to discover the city of Maastricht. To bring the city to the MECC, we asked Roger Huskens - a Grafisch Designer and artist from Maastricht - to capture the most iconic buildings of the city through his signature pen drawings. The result are six drawings ranging from hypermodern to very classic but yet typical buildings of Maastricht.

The base of the brand identity of the new Bar Bistro “SAAM” at MECC Maastricht, is the river Maas itself. This river, streaming right through the city, separates but equally connects its inhabitants. In its glooming waters, it reflects the city and the sky above it. These characteristics - the contradiction in separating, connecting and mirroring - was the inspiration of the concept, layout and brand identity of the new Bar Bistro “SAAM” at MECC Maastricht.
