Stripe Cafe at Palos Verdes Art Center

Meyer originally named the PVAC café Stripe based on an early design concept, even though he abandoned the original design, he thought the space still had to visually say “stripe”. The idea of a permanent drip painting on the main wall (forty-two feet long) became the new motif. Meyer spent 4 months creating the massive work on 3 layers of plexi-glass. The three layers of drips create a beautiful veiled effect. The main dining room is all white — Meyer sheathed the walls in white plexi attached with screws, washers and trimmed it in metal millwork—an homage to Tommi Parzinger. The front and back entrances are sheathed in particleboard. Meyer designed hanging light sculptures created out of thousands of sheets of clear heavy-gauge vinyl in five different colors. For the bar he found an old “Bar” sign at the Chelsea Flea Market one Sunday in New York, and the odd colors against the blue mirror were kind of perfect—a Jack Pierson moment.
